Hi Caitlyn, The users would have to have Chimera installed on their machines in order to open Chimera sessions. There is a “web data” mechanism for the browser to use Chimera as a helper app (analogous to Preview or Adobe for PDF files), but it requires Chimera on the end machine. <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/webdata/chimerax.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.

Hi,
I have a number of colored protein structures from chimera that are saved as python files. I would like to put these structures on a database so other users may access them. Is there a way (preferably using html) that a user could click on the python file and it would open up in chimera through the database-- even if the user does not have chimera installed?
Thank you, Caitlyn McCafferty
