hi, I think I recall seeing information about a pdb -> density map function (like an MRC density map). is this currently implemented/contained within Chimera? I can use an outside program to do this, but if it is already in Chimera I would prefer to do that. thanks, -Jeff
Hi Jeff, Yes, there is a "molmap" command in recent versions: http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/molmap.html In addition, the "Fit in Map" tool can use the same functionality to simulate a map from atomic coordinates and then use map-in-map fitting: http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/fitmaps/ fitmaps.html These features were added after the November production release but are available in recent daily builds: http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/alpha-downloads.html Best, Elaine ----- Elaine C.
