Hello, My name is Atanas Radkov, postdoc in Seemay Chou's lab at UCSF. I was wondering if you could help me set up Mole on Chimera. I installed it, as well as Mono, but I keep seeing the error below. Could you please let me know if there is a way to address this error? Thank you so much for your time and help!

Hi Atanas! I’ll have to let the others answer about this python issue, but wanted to mention for anybody interested that there is a MOLEonline web server that outputs scripts for display in Chimera: <https://mole.upol.cz/> It runs MOLE, a program for identifying and characterizing channels in macromolecular structures. Results include a profile of the channel radius and hydropathy, a list of residues lining the channel, and scripts for display in Chimera and other programs. The server is described in this paper: <https://academic.oup.com/nar/article/46/W1/W368/4990029> Best, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hi Atanas, The MOLE plugin is trying to write some settings into the "current directory". When you start Chimera by double-clicking the icon, the "current directory" is some system directory that you don't have permission to write into. So, before you start the MOLE plugin you should change Chimera's current directory with the "cd" command (Favorites→Command Line). Specifically "cd ~" will make your home directory the current directory. The plugin should work after that. --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab
