Hi Eric, Now there is a "morph" command to create the morph trajectory and a "coordset" command to play the trajectory. The "morph" command is available in version 1.3 (Dec 2008) and newer, and the "coordset" command is available in recent daily builds: <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/morph.html> <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/coordset.html> The online tutorial you are viewing is from last summer. There is a newer online tutorial on movie-making that uses the commands mentioned above (scroll down to the very end and click link to "1m51.cmd" to see the contents of that command file): <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/tutorials/movies09/moviemaking.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hello, chimera-users,
Hi, my name is Eric Choi and currently I am interning at the Ren Lab at mission bay for Dr. Ren. For one of my assignments, I was to make a video of a conformation change of PPAR-GAMMA, from open to closed structure with the addition of a ligand. Upon trying to make this happen, I realized that I need the morphing python code(I believe it is) to be able to complete this step. This is what the movie making tutorial told me in the part "Ligand Flying into Unbound Conformation". If I could get the command to make the morph(python code) that would be great. Thank you!
