Hi Vamsee, Sorry no, there is no way to do those kinds of calculations in Chimera. Best, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hi Elaine, Thanks for the answer for the previous question. I am back with one more :)
Is there a way to completely denature a protein in Chimera? The idea is to completely unfold a particular protein (for ex: chemical denaturation GdHCl/Urea or thermal denaturation) to its primary structure. Also can this be modeled in such a way that we can extract thermodynamic parameters from the modeling? I do understand this sounds a lot like a Molecular Dynamics simulation but maybe there is a way in Chimera? Thanks again Vamsee
