Hello Maria Taj Muhammad, The address for questions about using Chimera is chimera-users@cgl.ucsf.edu (CC’d here). Chimera does not read chemdraw.cdx files, sorry. Here is a list of the atomic-structure formats that Chimera can read: <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/filetypes.html#molstruct> You would probably want to use PDB, Mol2, or (MOL) SDF for your ligands, to read them in to Chimera. Then you can use the Dock Prep tool (in menu under Tools… Structure Editing) to add hydrogens and charges and save as Mol2. <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/dockprep/dockprep.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.

Hello Sir will you please guide me for one more thing, I got pdb of my protein and have Autodock installed in my PC. I have 6 derivatives that I synthesized myself, can I load chemdraw.cdx file in chimera to prepare it for docking and finally safe it in Mol2 format??? What format I can take of my ligand to load in Chimera??
