Hi, I would like to display the hydrophobic potential of a protein onto its MSMS surface. One program that calculates such potentials is GRID (from Molecular Discovery: http://www.moldiscovery.com/ ) GRID can produce the map in different formats. One of them is like delphi (grasp mode) map. This has the drawback that the map has to be 65x65x65 grid points and the grid points separation has to be an integer starting with 1 Ansgtroem. Hence, it's not appropriate for medium-big proteins. The GRID format hasn't those limitations. I can __sometimes__ read in chimera (throught the DelphiViewer) the delphi maps produced by GRID. Sometimes they are unreadable (and this seems to me more a problem with GRID than with chimera: something wrong in the header) But even when they are readable I'm not sure they are covering the region they are supposed to be covering. Does anyone know if chimera can read any other of the GRID map formats: GRID (this would be the optimal) Chem-X Frodo Insight Molcad Quanta Sybyl Otherwise: does anybody how to the kind of representation I'm looking for in any other way? Thank you for any advice!
