Hello, I want to use Chimera to generate clusters of a molecular dynamics trajectory. I have been looking for info about the clustering algorithm it uses, but I was not able to find anything. I guess it employs a default technique, does anybody know which one? Regards. David-.

Hi David, The clustering description in the MD Movie (trajectory viewer) page says to see Ensemble Cluster for details: <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/movie/movie.html#clustering> Here is the Ensemble Cluster documentation, including literature reference for the method: <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/ensemblecluster/ensemblecluster.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.
