The answer you got from the Delphi people sounds familiar to me which is why I switched to APBS interface on Chimera (works on both Windows and linux). The .dx file produced by APBS is read and contoured nicely by Chimera. If you need to ionize the structure, there is a Windows PDB2PQR executable as mentioned by Elaine (I understand that you're using Windows).

However, the file you attached was not the ?.phi? file (electrostatic potential map) output from DelPhi. It was just the text output from the DelPhi program. If DelPhi runs successfully on your structure, it will create a separate file, with name ending in .phi, that is the electrostatic potential map. If by ?cube? you mean Gaussian cube grid, Chimera does read that format. <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/filetypes.html#volume> However, this format is handled simply as a map that is not necessarily electrostatic potential, so it would require more steps in Chimera to get the coloring you want.

OK, I tried all the three academic versions of DelPhi for windows; and none is working for me. I contacted the DelPhi supporters and SUGGESTED to use CUBE output format which isn't possible in Chimera. In the mean time, the two Chimera versions I installed read 3eeb.phi file from the tutorial. I will report the problem. regards,

It should be any DelPhi version that you get from the academic website, which was a link in this page I sent earlier:

...

The DelPhi files that Chimera can read are from the academic version of DelPhi, as mentioned here: <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/filetypes.html#esp>

?specifically this is their academic website <http://compbio.clemson.edu/delphi>

I don?t remember what version I used several years ago to make 3eebB.phi, but as far as I know the format didn?t change. It is possible it changed and we didn?t know about it, but we would need example(s) of the files.

If you believe you used the academic version of DelPhi but you get the error opening the phi file, you could try using Chimera menu Help? Report a Bug and attach your phi file so we could take a look at it. However, that does not guarantee it will be possible to fix.

I hope this helps, Elaine

Hi Thank you for your reply. Could you please let me know which version of DelPhi academic version is compatible with Chimera? Which DelPhi version was used to generate the 3eeb.phi file in the tutorial? kindest regards,

If you have some other version of DelPhi associated with a commercial package, maybe the format is different and Chimera does not know how to read it.

Linked to the last section of this tutorial, there is an example DelPhi phi file (3eebB.phi) that Chimera can read: <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/tutorials/surfprop.html>

The latest Delphi version that I tried (8.4) produced a cube format file which formally can be read and contoured in the Chimera volume viewer. I hated the way the electrostatic surface produced that way looked and abandoned it. Delphi v. 6 which I have (and which I think Elaine used 3 years ago) produced the good old .phi which is file properly displayed in Chimera . I think one can still get hold of V.6 from the Delphi distribution site. To avoid this mess I used the APBS interface of Chimera which worked fine and produced a nice, familiar style, looking electrostatic surface (see for example Fig. S10 in the supplementary of doi: 10.1093/nar/gkz604).
