issue with ChimeraX 1.10 in snapdragon windows 11
by Erramilli, Satchal 24 Jul '25

24 Jul '25

Hello, I am reaching out to ask if there are any compatibility issues with ChimeraX 1.10 in Snapdragon Windows 11. The earlier version, 1.9, worked, but 1.10 doesn't. Is this a known issue with the Snapdragon architecture?

Correlation Question
by Amin, M.A.A. 23 Jul '25

23 Jul '25

Hello, I'm trying to get the correlation between 2 maps. I used the command: measure correlation #2 in_map #1 I also saved the resampled map. Then, I wrote a very simple python code that calculates the correlation coefficient as following: def compute_correlation(map1, map2): threshold = np.percentile(map1.flatten(), 99) # top 1% value mask = (map1 >= threshold) #& (map2 != 0) values1 = map1[mask] values2 = map2[mask] corr = np.corrcoef(values1, values2)[0, 1] return corr Although it is considered masking as it is done in ChimeraX, I was never able to get the correlation value I got from ChimeraX. I got 0.1 from the python code and 0.68 in ChimeraX. Any suggestions? Thank you -- Muhamed Amin, Ph.D Assistant Professor of Physics University of Groningen, Groningen, Netherlands

Multiple alignment
by Marco Sette 23 Jul '25

23 Jul '25

Dear all, I have few pdb structure and I would like to build a multiple alignment of the sequences based on structural alignment. While in Chimera it was an easy task I'm find some problems with ChimeraX since it returns a series of pairwise alignments (structure A vs. B, A vs. C, A vs. D) rather than a multiple one (A vs. B vs. C. vs. D). Is it possible to do?

Request: Complete ChimeraX User Manual in PDF Format
by 王雪 22 Jul '25

22 Jul '25

Dear UCSF RBVI Team, My name is Wang Xue, and I am a graduate student at South China Agricultural University. I have been learning to use UCSF ChimeraX to build the icosahedral capsid model of viral proteins. In the course of my studies, I discovered that the ChimeraX documentation and User Manual are provided as a collection of HTML files. While these are extremely helpful, I find that having a single, paginated PDF version would greatly facilitate offline review, bookmarking, and printing of the chapters I most frequently consult. Would it be possible for you to share the complete ChimeraX User Manual in PDF format? If such a version is already available, I would be grateful if you could direct me to its download link. Otherwise, I would very much appreciate your assistance in providing a consolidated PDF. Thank you for your help and for all the work you do in maintaining this valuable resource. I look forward to continuing to explore ChimeraX’s powerful features. Sincerely, Wang Xue South China Agricultural University July 20, 2025

Issue with lighting and silhouettes
by Alessio Nocentini 20 Jul '25

20 Jul '25

Hello, I need your support again for another issue I am meeting in using ChimeraX. Unlike Chimera, I cannot find the lighting panel, which was very useful to adjust lights. Moreover, when I have a protein surface, the silhouettes are not complete in ChimeraX (black square in figure). I attach the same figure done with the 2 softwares. In chimera X I cannot increase the lighting in the active site. Can you help? Thank you Best regards Alessio [image: Chimera.png] [image: ChimeraX.png] -- Dr. Alessio Nocentini <https://cercachi.unifi.it/p-doc2-0-0-A-3f2b3c29372831.html> *Ricercatore Legge 240/10 a tempo determinato - Tipo B* *UNIVERSITÀ DEGLI STUDI DI FIRENZE* Dipartimento di Neuroscienze, Psicologia, Area del Farmaco e Salute del Bambino (NEUROFARBA) *ECCELLENZA 2023-2027* Via Ugo Schiff 6, 50019 - Sesto Fiorentino (Firenze), Italy Phone: +39-055-4573685
