Open .pse file in Chimera?

Dear all, I have a .pse file generated with MacPyMOL that I would like to try to dock into a EM density map using Chimera. It would appear that this is not possible. Can you offer any advice or alternative approaches to try? With many thanks, Dez

Hi Dez, As you have found, Chimera does not read Pymol sessions. Maybe you can restore the Pymol session in Pymol, save the structure as PDB file(s) from Pymol, and then open the PDB file(s) in Chimera. Then see the “Fit in Map” tool and/or “fitmap” command in Chimera. <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/fitmaps/fitmaps.html> <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/fitmap.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.

Hello, Can I open .rim files obtained of MD simulation from Yasara? -Robin On 4 November 2015 at 03:21, Elaine Meng <meng@cgl.ucsf.edu> wrote:

Hello Robin, Sorry no, Chimera doesn’t read Yasara .rim files. The trajectory formats that Chimera knows are listed in the following, maybe it is possible to output one of those from Yasara: <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/movie/framemovie.html> And there is a general list of Chimera input types here: <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/filetypes.html> Best, Elaine ----- Elaine C.
