Hi,


It seems to me that you didn't generate the surface of the model (I don't see it in your model panel). So, first press 'actions show surface' then go to 'colour surface by electrostatic potential'.


Stay healthy,


Boaz

Dear Laura,

maybe you can have a look at your pdb file by using a text editor to
check if the pdb contains some unusual portion (like missing residues).
As far I know Chimera tries to reconstruct missing residues but
sometimes there could be something wrong.

Best regards

Marco

Hi Laura,
        The ?loop bond? message specifically means that your PDB file has a CONECT or LINK record that says that an atom is bonded to itself!  So my advice would be to edit your PDB file and remove all CONECT and LINK records and let Chimera figure out the bonds on its own.

Dear Chimera team,
 
I am trying to display color the surface of my molecule according with Poisson-Boltzmann electrostatics using Chimera 1.14. I ran the PDB2PQR tool as described in the user guide and obtained a PDB2PQR file. With that, I ran the APBS tool and obtained a .dx file. As described, the Surface Color panel opens automatically, but here I am unable to choose my structure file for "color surface" (s. attachment 1). I can only choose the .dx file, which does not work. All three models obtained during this process are opened in the model panel though (s. attachment 2).
 
Do you have any idea on how to fix this?
 
Thank you very much in advance and keep up the great work!
 
Benedikt Moissl
