Hi Charles-Alexandre, Roughly two weeks ago the RSCB changed their web site in such a way the fetching PDB files via Chimera broke. We have committed a fix that gets Chimera's fetching working again, but the fix is only in the daily build -- so you would need to download and install that. We are hoping to get a new production release out continaining the fix in the next few days, Some of your fetches seem to work because Chimera caches fetched files, so if you ever fetched that PDB ID before then Chimera will use the cached file instead of trying to get it from the RCSB web site. --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab

Hi all
I just wanted to ask if it is normal my Chimera installs have begun throwing errors when fetching PDB’s by ID (eg 1EHZ)? It does work for other PDB codes, eg 6NP2.
I used to do this regularly but since a few days I have noticed these errors pop up. It typically returns: “Error reading $PDBcode: No such id: $PDBcode”
I am aware Chimera is deprecated and not supported anymore, but I used it for simple tasks eg Autodock Vina which is not supported in ChimeraX and teaching thereof.
Kind regards
Charles-Alexandre
