Dear Meng, I need to calculate ellipsoid axis for some 800 pdbs that I have in a directory using measur inertia command. I was trying to load one by one and calcualte, but I was huge. I read about python script for running in batches. Is there any chimera script for doing this?. I would like to get your help in doing this. Thanks in advance.

Dear M. Selvaraj, The Chimera Programmer's Guide includes a primer on how to write a python script to process multiple structures: <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ProgrammersGuide/basicPrimer.html> It is better to send Chimera questions to chimera-users@cgl.ucsf.edu (or if advanced programming issues, to chimera-dev@cgl.ucsf.edu) instead of to me directly. 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
