Hi, I'm trying to use chimera to adjust angles in my polymer. First: Probably I found a bug: when I typed "adjust angle 90 #0:4@C #0:5@C #0:6@C" in the command line, it reported that "the degree should be a number". After I changed line 488 in /Chimera/share/Midas/midas_text.py to "degrees, spec = args.split(None,1)", the command works. Second: still about "adjust angle", if the polymer is a straight line, the command doesn't work, while it works for a random distributed polymer. For the line polymer, type "adjust angle 90 #0:4@C #0:5@C #0:6@C" and then "angle #0:4@C #0:5@C #0:6@C", it returns 180 degree. Below is the pdb example: line polymer: ATOM 1 C DA 1 0.000 0.000 0.000 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 2 C DA 2 1.000 0.000 0.000 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 3 C DA 3 2.000 0.000 0.000 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 4 C DA 4 3.000 0.000 0.000 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 5 C DA 5 4.000 0.000 0.000 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 6 C DA 6 5.000 0.000 0.000 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 7 C DA 7 6.000 0.000 0.000 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 8 C DA 8 7.000 0.000 0.000 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 9 C DA 9 8.000 0.000 0.000 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 10 C DA 10 9.000 0.000 0.000 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 11 C DA 11 10.000 0.000 0.000 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 12 C DA 12 11.000 0.000 0.000 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 13 C DA 13 12.000 0.000 0.000 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 14 C DA 14 13.000 0.000 0.000 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 15 C DA 15 14.000 0.000 0.000 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 16 C DA 16 15.000 0.000 0.000 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 17 C DA 17 16.000 0.000 0.000 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 18 C DA 18 17.000 0.000 0.000 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 19 C DA 19 18.000 0.000 0.000 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 20 C DA 20 19.000 0.000 0.000 1.00 0.00 C CONECT 1 2 CONECT 2 1 3 CONECT 3 2 4 CONECT 4 3 5 CONECT 5 4 6 CONECT 6 5 7 CONECT 7 6 8 CONECT 8 7 9 CONECT 9 8 10 CONECT 10 9 11 CONECT 11 10 12 CONECT 12 11 13 CONECT 13 12 14 CONECT 14 13 15 CONECT 15 14 16 CONECT 16 15 17 CONECT 17 16 18 CONECT 18 17 19 CONECT 19 18 20 CONECT 20 19 END random polymer: ATOM 1 C DA 1 -7.600 -3.500 -1.800 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 2 C DA 2 -6.600 -4.500 0.200 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 3 C DA 3 -3.600 -2.500 -0.800 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 4 C DA 4 -3.600 -2.500 -1.800 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 5 C DA 5 -3.600 -2.500 -2.800 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 6 C DA 6 -3.600 -2.500 -3.800 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 7 C DA 7 -3.600 -2.500 -4.800 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 8 C DA 8 -1.600 3.500 -2.800 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 9 C DA 9 0.400 3.500 -3.800 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 10 C DA 10 -0.600 0.500 -3.800 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 11 C DA 11 -1.600 1.500 -1.800 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 12 C DA 12 -0.600 0.500 0.200 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 13 C DA 13 -1.600 2.500 2.200 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 14 C DA 14 1.400 2.500 2.200 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 15 C DA 15 2.400 0.500 4.200 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 16 C DA 16 5.400 0.500 4.200 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 17 C DA 17 6.400 1.500 2.200 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 18 C DA 18 7.400 -1.500 2.200 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 19 C DA 19 7.400 -1.500 5.200 1.00 0.00 C ATOM 20 C DA 20 9.400 -0.500 6.200 1.00 0.00 C CONECT 1 2 CONECT 2 1 3 CONECT 3 2 4 CONECT 4 3 5 CONECT 5 4 6 CONECT 6 5 7 CONECT 7 6 8 CONECT 8 7 9 CONECT 9 8 10 CONECT 10 9 11 CONECT 11 10 12 CONECT 12 11 13 CONECT 13 12 14 CONECT 14 13 15 CONECT 15 14 16 CONECT 16 15 17 CONECT 17 16 18 CONECT 18 17 19 CONECT 19 18 20 CONECT 20 19 END ------------------ Best Wishes!
