Hi Chimera Users This is 2nd send to you after I enrolled as a CHIMERA user :), thanks. I need to calculate a radial distance plot from a surface representation of an Adeno Associated Virus structure as shown from literature below. However the: 1. Action, Surface, Show command fails, reporting CHIMERA often fails for large structures ( AAV is easily over 200K atoms ) with multiple chain IDs ( I have 60 individual chain IDs for each of the 60 capsid proteins ). Other CHIMERA popup suggestions did not resolve the problem either ( changing molecular surface parameters in the Inspect Selection ( actually didn't see anything to change ) or in PREFERENCES - NEW SURFACES. I tried using CHIMERA, Structure editing, change chain IDs to all chain A, but that was disallowed. Summary: could not figure out how to get CHIMERA to calculate and display a surface representation of an AAV virus and then use that display to calculate radial coloring as shown below. Any solutions greatly appreciated and thanks.
