Autodock Vina, APBS, PDB2PQR web services will be removed

Dear Chimera users, The Autodock Vina, APBS, and PDB2PQR tools in Chimera rely on web services provided by another lab, the National Biomedical Computation Resource. However, these web services are scheduled to be retired on April 30, 2020. When that happens, the Autodock Vina, APBS, and PDB2PQR tools in Chimera will no longer work, except for the (very few) people who use the tools to run locally installed copies of the program instead of the web services.

Thanks Elaine I am also curious about the future of the Modeller tool to refine loops via homology. will that also phase out? Dr. Gregory A Babbitt Associate Professor T.H.

Hi Gregory, The other web services used by Chimera (Modeller, Blast Protein, Clustal Omega, MUSCLE, and others) won't be affected at this time because they're provided by our lab (RBVI), not the NBCR.
