Selecting and listing all residues in a specific area

To whom this may concern, I have been using the Autodock Vina function on Chimera for my studies and I was wondering if it is possible to list the residues in the selected area of the protein used in docking. Thank you. With regards, Eunice

Hi Eunice, Not exactly, but if you can "select" a set of residues by any method, e.g. by Ctrl-click-dragging a box around them, or by distance zone from an atom or residue (first select the atom or residue, and then use menu Select... Zone...), then you can write a list of what is selected (menu Actions... Write List...). Many different ways to select residues: <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/selection.html> Actions menu including Write LIst <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/menu.html#menuactions> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hi Elaine, Thank you for getting back to me. I have another question. Is it possible to increase the exhaustiveness of Autodock Vina in Chimera? Thank you. With regards, Eunice

Hi Eunice, If you are using the Autodock Vina graphical interface of Chimera, click Options: there you will see exhaustiveness choices only go up to 8. This is a limitation of the tool, which is why we put a warning in the gray box near the top of the help page: <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/vina/vina.html> As the warning ways, for higher exhaustiveness you should use Autodock Vina directly (not in Chimera).

Hi Elaine, Thank you for your email. One more thing. I was wondering if boron has been included in the parameterisation of Autodock. Thank you. With regards, Eunice On Sat, 29 Jan 2022 at 04:50, Elaine Meng <meng@cgl.ucsf.edu> wrote:

Oops, make that: "As the warning says,"

Hi Eunice, I don't know about boron. Since we are not the developers of Autodock Vina (or Autodock, they are two different programs), better to check on their website and/or publications: <https://vina.scripps.edu/> Best, Elaine ----- Elaine C.
