Thank you, Eric! Do you know how do I save minimized file in a pdb format? I tried rc("minimize spec ':1-97.C z<10.0 & :.G|:1-97.C z<10.0 & :.F|:1-97.C' nsteps 100 cgsteps 0") rc("write 'newfile.pdb'") It does the minimization, but doesn't write the file MidasError: "'newfile.pdb'" is not a model number Error while processing chimera_mini.py:" Thank you!

Since the first thing you do in your script is add hydrogens, Chimera adds two hydrogens to the carbon alpha of that residue. Since those hydrogens have no corresponding molecular mechanics parameters in the Amber database, the minimization didn’t work. You should not addh/addcharge in your script and instead run DockPrep. See this dock-fans posting for how to do that: [Dock-fans] dock prep in batch mode?<http://mailman.docking.org/pipermail/dock-fans/2007-May/001043.html> That posting talks about adding keyword arguments you want to the prep() call. If you want to use Gasteiger charges, add “method=‘gasteiger’” to the call. —Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab On Aug 8, 2016, at 10:06 AM, Bylund, Tatsiana (NIH/NIAID) [F] <tatsiana.bylund@nih.gov<mailto:tatsiana.bylund@nih.gov>> wrote: Dear all, I need to minimize a lot of protein complexes and am trying to do it with a script.
