Dear Debasish Banerjee, There may have been changes in the ModBase website, or maybe even the UniProt website -- you would need to ask those developers. The ability of Chimera to show ModBase models did not change. Today looking at the ModBase website, I'm having a problem where it always says there are no models for some sequence, even when I know there are models. I don't know if this is the same problem you were having. I know there are models because I can fetch them using Chimera menu: File…Fetch by ID, choosing database: Modbase and entering a sequence ID (UniProt or other). The same can be done with a command, for example: open modbase:P33533 So maybe you can use that approach instead. Regards, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.

To Elaine Meng, May be I didn't explain properly. Most UniprotKB database entries have used Modbase in the 3D structure database section. In any entry where Modbase is used, clicking on search button next to the Modbase entry used to open that structure entry page using Chimera. With the current version that doesn't seem to happen (as it was happening with the earlier versions). Please advice. Thanking You, Debasish Banerjee

To, Elaine Meng, I had downloaded Chimara 1.10 but it doesn't seem to operate on other sites like UniprotKB. Can you please comment. Debasish Banerjee
Dear Debasish Banerjee, Not sure I understand your question. UCSF Chimera is a molecular modeling/graphics program that you use on your own computer.
The only relationship to UniProtKB is that you can fetch sequences and annotations from that site while using Chimera. Maybe you mean you had trouble fetching data from the web (Chimera menu: File… Fetch by ID)?
We haven’t heard reports of a problem. For example, I can start UCSF Chimera 1.10, use menu: File… Fetch by ID, choose database “UniProt” and then get the sequence for NGF_HUMAN shown in Chimera. Of course, you have to be connected to the internet. Otherwise, if you have some specific problem you can use Chimera menu: Help… Report a Bug and give enough information about the steps you tried so that somebody else could reproduce it.
Best, Elaine
