thank you sir actually I am student of BS(Hons.) Bionfo & Biotech and Chimera was my presentation topic , Today was my presention and I do alot ..I presented the following1- Introduction to chimera2-How to load a structure into chimera open and fetch3- How to edit, select(chains, residues, atoms, also atom specifier), delete, 4- Actions, zoom and drag , coloring and change the view of model (bonds, atoms, surface, ribbon, residues etc...) 5-How to make animations6-How to use commands7-How to save animation in movie file and in accession file8- How to align and superimpose two or more model structures and then their sequences and how to check RMSD9-How to make or built a structure from peptide or amino acid sequence , and how to get or show the sequnce from protein model10-How to make Ramachandran Plot11-How to save high defination image12-How adjust bonding13-How to make solvate model 14-How to make userinterface of our own choice15-How to select tow different atoms and then how to make bond between them16-How to merg two different model into one17-How to two find a conserved region in the structure by giving the conserved sequence as input19-How to select and activate a specific model20-How to move different objects by mouse 21-How to split a model into its chains22-How to close a specific model23-commands24-How to show the ligand surface25-ViewDock check the binding between the ligand and receptor26-How to check the resolution of PDB structure27-How to measure volume and area28-How to save selected part of model into another separate as a PDB file29-analyzing metal ion coordination geometries30-viewing controls (side view, camera, lighting, shining)31-Find clashes and contacts32-Docking with autodock vina ( ligand-receptor binding ) thank you so much sir for helping...... --- On Tue, 4/9/13, Elaine Meng <meng@cgl.ucsf.edu> wrote: From: Elaine Meng <meng@cgl.ucsf.edu> Subject: building DNA To: "Muhammad ALi" <muh.ali741@yahoo.com> Cc: "chimera-users@cgl.ucsf.edu Mailing List" <chimera-users@cgl.ucsf.edu> Date: Tuesday, April 9, 2013, 4:15 PM On Apr 8, 2013, at 6:42 AM, Muhammad ALi wrote:
hi can we make a DNA model with chimera???
Hello, Although you can build very approximate DNA in Chimera with the "rna" command <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/rna.html>, the result is rough and mainly just for viewing. If you are planning to do detailed modeling or further calculations with the DNA, I would recommend not using Chimera, but instead some other program. For example, here are some web servers that I believe will build DNA: <http://structure.usc.edu/make-na/> <http://w3dna.rutgers.edu/index.php/rebuild> Elaine ---------- Elaine C.
