Dear Chimera developers: I have a problem in using Chimera! I want to save a ligand-receptor complex file for further analysis,but I can not save a such PDB file!You can see the figure below! The target was protein, and the atr_1 was the ligand, all files were saved from the dock results of Swissdock online tool (figure 2)! I hope you can help me, thank you very much! Best wish, Jianan Li Jianan Li-Harbin Medical University 364453372@qq.com

Dear Jianan Li, It is exactly what the error message says: if you choose to save "multiple models in multiple files" you must provide a file name that contains either $name or $number. You gave a file name "target_ab1.pdb" and this does not contain $name or $number. Do you really want two files for your two models? If so, you have to include $name or $number in the file name, for example, file name: target_ab1$number.pdb If you don't really want two files (one for ligand and one for receptor), i.e., you probably should combine ligand + receptor into one model before saving. You can combine models with the Model Panel (open from Favorites menu) function "copy/combine" or the command "combine" <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/modelpanel.html> <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/combine.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.
