Hi guys, Happy new year. I came across this https://www.schrodinger.com/3d-visualization-looking-glass-holographic-disp… . Can we look forward to having this compatible for chimerax since we are having difficulty finding 3D stereo displays for structural biology.

Tile behavior in Chimera vs ChimeraX - different behavior of independent rotation?
by Oliver Clarke 04 Jan '24

04 Jan '24

Hi all, Happy new year! I have some observations/queries regarding the "tile models" command in Chimera vs ChimeraX. In Chimera, the rotation mode is not linked to a specific mouse mode - so if I change it from "front center" to "independent", this will affect rotation of models regardless of how I do it - whether using the mouse, the trackpad, or using the rock, roll or turn commands on the command line. In ChimeraX, independent rotation is now a separate mousemode - so it only applies to whatever mouse mode (e.g. left mouse) one has it applied to, and does not apply to the trackpad or command line. Is there any prospect of altering this behavior, or mimicking the old behavior? When tiling many models (or maps) for comparison, I like to view them with a rocking motion to give better 3D perception, but now I can't do this (it just rocks the entire "plane" of dispersed models, rather than each independently). Cheers Oli

Good Evening I wanted to asked about compatibility and installation issues. I am currently using a Chromebook with Linux Debian 11 (Bootstrap) and I am trying to get ChimeraX 1.7 installed onto it.

Recover unsaved ChimeraX session?

29 Dec '23

Dear all, happy Holidays! I am not very optimistic about this one, but I will just drop the question here and it may simply be that I am unaware of this function: I had a ChimeraX session crashing just when I was about to save it for the first time... is there any way to recover unsaved ChimeraX session, such as temporarily saved files? Thank you, André

Re: How to save a sequence in an mmCIF file?
by Greg Couch 22 Dec '23

22 Dec '23

To answer the general question, ChimeraX doesn't yet have a way to set the full sequence for a mmCIF entity. See https://www.wwpdb.org/deposition/preparing-pdbx-mmcif-files for how to fix the mmCIF output from various refinement packages. For example, the Phenix has "mmtbx.prepare_pdb_deposition program to create a mmCIF file with the sequence". In this particular case, where the starting structure is an Alphafold prediction with atoms for every residue in the full sequence, you can get the correct sequence into the mmCIF output with the "bestGuess" option. See https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/save.html#mmcif. I'd also recommend, in your case, using the computedSheets option. In older ChimeraX's, you need to run dssp before using computedSheets to get the helix information. In recent ChimeraX's (daily build and 1.7 release candidate), computedSheets will also output the helix information if it wasn't present in the input. Adding a sequence with bestGuess can be deceiving of because missing leading or trailing residues, or gaps of indeterminate length. But in this case, you should be fine. -- Greg On 11/29/23 02:45, Guillaume Gaullier wrote: > *From: *Guillaume Gaullier via ChimeraX-users > <chimerax-users(a)cgl.ucsf.edu> > *Subject: **[chimerax-users] How to save a sequence in an mmCIF file?* > *Date: *November 29, 2023 at 2:45:31 AM PST > *To: *"chimerax-users(a)cgl.ucsf.edu" <chimerax-users(a)cgl.ucsf.edu> > *Reply-To: *Guillaume Gaullier <guillaume.gaullier(a)kemi.uu.se> > > Hello, > > Starting from an AlphaFold prediction, I refined a model against a map > with ISOLDE.

ChimeraX protein-protein binding site modeling question
by Parks, Ryssa 20 Dec '23

20 Dec '23

Hello, I work in a lab that researches biopesticides in the form of insect neuropeptides, which bind to receptor proteins. I am trying to use ChimeraX to model potential binding sites between peptide ligands and their corresponding receptor. Does ChimeraX have this capability? When I was trying to figure this out myself online through the ChimeraX Youtube tutorials and tutorials on the UCSF site, I came across a comment on a video that mentioned I could upload the sequences of my receptor and peptide ligand separated by a comma, and model it as a protein complex, and then I can get information on where the two molecules interact. I'm relatively new to protein research, and so I hadn't yet thought of ligand-protein interactions as a type of protein complex. My specific questions are: * When modeling a peptide ligand and a receptor as a protein complex, will ChimeraX accurately predict the relationship between the two molecules based on binding compatibility? Or is it based on something else, like similarity of sequence alignments...? * If multiple binding sites are possible, is there any way to view the different options for multiple binding sites? Or is there any way to restrict the area on the receptor to which my target peptide ligand is predicted to bind (i.e. the extracellular region only)? * The peptide ligands are only 7-9 amino acids in length and do not take very long to model, but the receptor is about 600 amino acids and takes a much longer time to model. Do I have to model protein complexes by re-modeling everything for each different receptor-ligand combination, or can I combine existing models somehow? I hope these questions aren't too troublesome, and I hope I haven't grossly misunderstood ChimeraX's capabilities. Thank you for your time, Ryssa Parks

ISOLDE messes with view?
by Alexis Rohou 20 Dec '23

20 Dec '23

Hello, I've just noticed that the view command doesn't behave as expected after I have started ISOLDE. Specifically, if I save a view ("view name view1") and later try to restore it ("view view1"), it will get me back to the correct orientation of view1 but the zoom will not be restored. I assume ISOLDE is changing a setting under the hood. Is there some way to make ISOLDE play nicely with "view"? Right now my only workaround is to quit ChimeraX and start again front he beginning, without launching ISOLDE. Cheers, Alexis

Log auto-scrolling
by Alexis Rohou 19 Dec '23

19 Dec '23

Hi, Is there a way to make sure that the Log window stays scrolled all the way to the end of the log? I keep having to scroll back down to see the output of the last command I issued. Perhaps this is because I scrolled back up at some point, I'm not sure. Either way, it'd be nice to have the option to switch on (and off) "auto scroll" for the Log window. Cheers, Alexis

Support for unknown amino acid and nucleotide
by Vorländer,Matthias Kopano 19 Dec '23

19 Dec '23

Dear ChimeraX team, When depositing models in the PDB, it is often necessary to change the nucleotide or amino acid type to “Unknown” when the resolution is not good enough to identify the register (https://www.wwpdb.org/documentation/procedure) Would it be possible to extend the functionality of the swapna and swapaa commands to support changing residues into UNK for proteins and N/DN for nucleic acids? Many thanks in advance, Matthias

Re: extract highlighted residue with sequence number
by Luca Genz 19 Dec '23

Hi, there is a plug-in in the ChimeraX toolshed called PICKLUSTER that can identify the residues in the protein interface, colors them and reports a list of the residues in the interface with their sequence number in the Log. It can also report the contacts and can color the interface residues in the sequence. Hope that helps!
