Hi Chinh, If you are able to write a Python script, you could use the info in the Chimera Programmer's Guide http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ProgrammersGuide to write a script to get the values. There is a programmer's example specifically about atomic-level measurements such as angles and distances: http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ProgrammersGuide/Examples/Main_AtomMeas... Also, Python is reasonably easy to learn, especially if you already know how to program in another language. There are links to Python tutorials in the Programmer's Guide. --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu On Mar 8, 2013, at 9:08 AM, Elaine Meng wrote:
Hi Chinh, For scripting measurements (distance, angle, torsion) you can use commands: distance, angle <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/distance.html> <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/angle.html>
These measurements are specified individually. Chimera does not have an option to write out a Z-matrix, sorry.

I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Computer Graphics Lab (Chimera team) and Babbitt Lab Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

Hi, I have some results after running docking from DOCK. I'd like to obtain information of internal coordinates (bond, angle, torsion OR z-matrix).
Could anyone please give me any suggestion how to do that in Chimera? Or if possible, please suggest me some references that can help me find it out.
I have bunch of conformations, so I may not use the gui. Thank you. Chinh
