Dear Madam/Sir, We are a group of researchers who try to prepare educational contents in different aspects of protein molecular modeling for the students. Access to these educational content is not free. We need to prepare some pictures of proteins, ligand-receptor interaction, etc. for the slides. Can we use the Chimera software (free version) to prepare some pictures for the slides? Though, we won't use the tool, itself, for those educational sessions. Thank you for your consideration Best Regards Elaheh Kashani-Amin PhD, Bioscience
Dear Elaheh Kashani-Amin, Thanks for asking. Yes, it would be acceptable to use Chimera (free version) to create images for your slides, providing that Chimera is credited for the images in these materials. However, if you were going to use Chimera interactively as part of the paid educational sessions, your group would need to license the software as described here: <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/commercial_license.html> Best regards, Elaine ----- Elaine C.
