Dear ChimeraX team, After watching the YouTube tutorial on “how to show AlphaFold error estimates with ChimeraX”, I was wondering how to export the plot as an image (pdf, png?). Kind regards, Clara

Dear ChimeraX Support Team, Before all, congratulations on such awesome software. On another note I wanted to contact you because I am not able to connect to Google sign in when trying to predict with alpha fold. Is there a way to reset login ? Thanks again. Best, Alejandro

ChimeraX 1.5rc running on Nvidia RTX Titan [ubuntu 22.04]
by HONG ZHAN 11 Nov '22

11 Nov '22

Dear, I recently installed a Nvidia RTX Titan GPU card, and ChimeraX 1.5rc, it is a bit wired. I can open the window using intergrated GPU but if I just clicked on Chimerax or try to open it in terminal, it failed to open the program... Is ChimeraX only working on integrated GPU? Also, I cannot install the chimerax using apt install as in the website description, but dpkg -i works... is this the right way to install? many thanks! Hong

.pdb from Protein Data Bank has more chains than expected
by McClean, Phillip 10 Nov '22

10 Nov '22

Hi Everyone, I downloaded the 7FDL .pdb from the Protein Data Bank. I was expecting just two chains (it is a heteromeric complex), but I found 12 chains in the file (A-L). I was expecting two chains because the manuscript suggested they were just modeling protein fragments of the two protein. It appears that chains that A,C,E,G,I,K are multiple models of one fragment, while chains B,D,F,H,J,L are multiple models of the second fragment. Two questions. Why are multiple structures reported, and how to I visualize just two fragments at the same time, for example A and B. I have attached the .pdb file. Thanks for any advise. Phil McClean

Hi all, for Chimerax version 1.4 (2022-06-03) when in the command line I use addcharge or addcharge #1 I receive in the Log panel the following: Unknown command: addcharge or Unknown command: addcharge #1.

Re: [chimerax-users] [Chimera-users] MD simulation movie in chimeraX
by Elaine Meng 09 Nov '22

09 Nov '22

Hello! For ChimeraX questions you may want to use the other address, chimerax-users(a)cgl.ucsf.edu CC'd here. You can see what formats ChimeraX reads by using command "open formats," or view this User Guide page: <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/open.html#formats> <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/open.html#trajectory> ChimeraX can read .trr trajectory coordinates, but it cannot read .tpr trajectory topology. If your MD program can output a single PDB snapshot you can use that for the topology. First you would open the PDB file. Then to open the .trr file you would need to use the "open" command and also specify the already-open PDB file with the "structureModel" option. For example, if you open the PDB file as model #1, then something like: open myfile.trr structureModel #1 See details and more examples: <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/open.html#traj-options> <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/open.html#structureModel> When you open the trajectory in ChimeraX, I believe that a playback slider will automatically appear. However, if it does not you can use "coordset slider" to show it. The "coordset" command can also be used to play the trajectory frames directly (not using the interactive slider): <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/coordset.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

I have .trr and .tpr files from the Gromacs MD simulation. I am not getting any option to create an MD movie. I know how to do it in chimera but couldn't find a similar GUI/option in chimeraX.

RMSD Problem
by Timothy JM Clayson 08 Nov '22

08 Nov '22

Hiya, I am currently having a problem when trying to use RMSD on 2 sequences. *I am using the command: * *rmsd #1:149,264 to #2:469,553* (where a.a. on chain 1 are 149-264 and on chain 2 they're 469-553) *It is coming up with the error:* *'Number of atoms from first atom spec (21) differs from number in second (10)'* I was wondering if there is a fix to this problem? Thanks, Tim
