generating electrostatic potential map

Hello all, I want to generate the electrostatic potential map using Chimera. I tried through Delphi controler, however i am repeatedly getting an error as follows. I have successfully installed Delphi. Can someone suggest me what is wrong. __________DelPhi V. 4 Release 1.1 ______________ | | | A program to solve the PB equation | | in 3D, using non-linear form, incorporating | | many dielectric regions, multisalt ionic | | strength, different probe radii, periodic | | and focussing boundary conditions, utilizing | | stripped optimum successive over-relaxation | | and an improved algorithm for mapping the | | Mol.

Hi Bala, This error occurs in DelPhi (not in Chimera) and is apparently because the format of the radius file is wrong. It looks like DelPhi is expecting a different line at the top of the radius file. I looked at the "default.siz" file in our local installation of DelPhi, and it has this line before the radius parameters: atom__res_radius_color_ You could try putting that line or even a blank line at the top of your radius file, but probably the best thing to do is check the description of this file format in the DelPhi manual. I hope this helps, Elaine On Oct 27, 2006, at 7:43 AM, bala wrote:
