Hi Ammar, Typically you can use one of many docking programs separately from Chimera: UCSF DOCK, Glide, GOLD, AutoDock, AutoDock Vina, SwissDock, etc. You just have to download that other program (or use a web service) to do the docking, instead of using Chimera.
Then, after you get the output file you can use Chimera's ViewDock tool to view and analyze the results. < http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/viewdock/framevd.h...
For example, see the Swissdock website, which includes a video of using Chimera to view the results: <http://www.swissdock.ch/>

Hi,
But I thought that the Autodock Vina function has been discontinued since April 30th as I have been having trouble docking my compound. Is there any way around this?
Thank you

Save PDB, then in the dialog you can choose more than oen model to save. <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/savemodel.html#pdb>
However: I don't use Pymol or ligplot, so I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing they might not use this kind of PDB file with more than one model in it. Instead you may need to combine ligand and receptor into one model before you save to PDB.
To combine the ligand and the protein into one model, you can use the Model Panel (open from Favorites menu) "copy/combine" function. You have to choose the two models (the ligand and the protein) on the left side of the Model Panel and then click "copy/combine" button on the right side of the Model Panel. <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/modelpanel.html> <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/modelpanel.html#chosen
< http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/modelpanel.html#combine>
Or, instead of Model Panel, you could use the "combine" command. <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/combine.html>
Then save the new combined model to a PDB file.

Hi, I did a docking experiment from autodock and downloaded the file in chimerax format, when I open it works great and I select the model with highest delta G and visaulise it, but when I save the model as PDB, and open it in pymol only ligand is visible when I open the protein file in the same, although the ligand sits perfectly. I am not able to get a PDB file of the docked structure for ligplot analysis. Any help would be appreciated. Take care Sincerely, Yash Bahl
