Just wanted to ask about Chimera's support for reading in SDF formatted files, e.g. from PubChem. It seems not to be one of the supported formats. Obviously we can use a converter to get pdb format, but thought I'd ask the experts.
As per Elaine's mail, SDF does seem to be frequently used for 2D diagrams rather than true 3D positions, so maybe reading SDF wouldn't be all that useful. Nonetheless, if you actually some 3D SDF files, the format is simple enough that adding it wouldn't be terribly difficult. It would probably take me an hour if you provided some example files. --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab pett@cgl.ucsf.edu http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu
