Dear Dr. Gandhi, The second findhbond command will erase the previous H-bonds (from the first findhbond command) unless you use the "retainCurrent true" option in the second findhbond command. <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/hbonds.html#options> Another problem I can see is that there should be a space between "selRestrict" and "both". Other possible reasons for no Hbond to be shown are: (a) the atoms do not meet the criteria (for example, they are too far apart) (b) your select command didn't select the atoms (for example, if their names didn't match what was in your command) You can the commands by entering them into the command line before putting them into a script. If the residues are already displayed, you do not need "reveal true" I hope this helps, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.

Dear Users, I am trying to use hbond command in the movie tool of Chimera 1.8. I want to repeat hbond analyses with different criteria simultaneously in a single script
these are my commands
select :9@O1P,O2P,O3P,N,H :12@N,H findhbond selRestrictboth linewidth 2 color green reveal true (..I want to monitor hydrogen bond between these two residues with default criteria) ~sel select :3@O1P,O2P,O3P :6@O1P,O2P findhbond selRestrict any color black reveal true relax true distSlop 2.7 intraRes false ~sel
When I tried these commands in one single script, I could see hydrogen bonds displayed for residue 3 and 6 and not between residues 9 and 12. Hopefully you can correct me.
