ChimeraX Log window remains blank
by Scott White 13 Jan '23

13 Jan '23

Hi, Sorry if this is a dumb question, but recently when starting ChimeraX the Log window is not on Display. Opening the Log window (Tools> log) opens it as a separate window, and whether docked or free-floating the Log window remains blank no matter what I do. Even just "open 1nov" on the command line will download and open the PDB entry 1NOV, but no text appears in the Log window. I've tried a fresh install of ChimeraX 1.5 to no avail. I've tried opening an older version of ChimeraX, which despite having worked countless times before, now shows the same behaviour regarding the Log window as my abberant ChimeraX 1.5. I've tried rebooting the computer - no fix. I've tried "log clear" and "log show". It's a Windows 10, university owned PC. I don't have the issue on other computers. Is it a software clash? Thanks in advance for any help or advice. Scott _______________________________________ Dr Scott A.

Changing MD trajectory default frame rate
by Visvaldas K. 12 Jan '23

12 Jan '23

Dear all, Is there a way to change frame rate when I hit that red "record" button when playing MD trajectory? I could do "movie record", but then it becomes interactive (I hit triangle "play", and then "movie encode /Users/visvaldas/Desktop/movie.mp4 framerate 5"), so inadvertently can record some undesired frames. Of course I probably can reduce framerate using external programs, but how to that non-interactively in ChimeraX? Best regards, Vis

Dear Chimera-X users! I am trying to make a movie using MD trajectory (in multi-model pdb file) by means of the Molecular Dynamics Viewer (v 1.2). is it possible to introduce smooth effects on the snapshots transition in the same way like it could be done via V*D ? Many thanks in advance Cheers Enrico

Trouble displaying missing structure dashed lines in cartoon mode
by Jonathan Jih 11 Jan '23

11 Jan '23

Hello ChimeraX team, I'm having quite a bit of trouble displaying missing structure dashed lines when my models are shown in cartoon mode. This is despite the "missing structure" sub-model box being ticked in the model panel. I recall finding a workaround for this nearly a year ago on ChimeraX 1.3, but I cannot for the life of me remember how I did so (now using ChimeraX 1.5). Interestingly, old sessions that I saved in 1.3 and 1.4 with whatever workaround I applied back then display the missing structure dashed lines properly in 1.5. However, opening the exact same pdb files from those older sessions in 1.5 yields no dashed lines in cartoon mode. Full atom mode appears fine. I also found this thread ( https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimerax-users/2022-February/003273.html) which seems to indicate the issue has been fixed, so not sure if I'm just doing something wrong? My OS is Windows 11 if that matters. Thanks in advance for the help!

Saving .mrc volume as coordinates
by Joshua Jenkins 10 Jan '23

10 Jan '23

Hi, I've segmented a tomogram using EMAN2 neural network workflow. I then use the segger function to extract regions of interest within the segmented volume, and save these to .mrc. I wondered if there is a way in chimera, or chimeraX, to convert/extract/save the .mrc volume as a simple 3D coordinates file (txt or tbl)? Best wishes, Josh

Re: [chimerax-users] [Chimera-users] Stereo glasses
by Jonathan Sheehan 06 Jan '23

I'm always on the lookout for new options for 3D stereo display hardware (Chimera or Chimerax). I just saw this Asus system with glasses-free stereo, using eye-tracking cameras and a lenticular screen. It looks to me like a premium OLED laptop targeted to gamers and CAD designers. I'm unfamiliar with Asus Spatial Vision and Acer SpatialLabs, but one reviewer said that it works with multiple people viewing it- I'm slightly sceptical. :-) https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/01/asus-new-16-inch-workstation-laptop… Tom, you suggested that VR headsets were the best option a few years ago.

If you try to use it be prepared for problems getting it to work and to pay a lot of money. We have been using active stereo LCD with a stereo projector for many decades.

Coloring according to the secondary structure
by Enrico Martinez 06 Jan '23

Dear ChimeraX users! I need to color cartoon representation of a protein according to its secondary structure (e.g. to color helix in red, b-stands in blue and coils in violet etc). I have already seen a built-in plugin in UCSF Chimera (but not in Chimera-X) that could do this job! Could you suggest commands that would be useful in Chimera-X?

Re: [chimerax-users] Remote control / Threading in ChimeraX
by Albert Smith-Penzel 05 Jan '23

05 Jan '23

Hi Tom, Thanks for the explanation. I’ll have to think and investigate a bit to see if my thread use is causing some problems elsewhere. Most of our code has been pretty stable, but there are still a few occasional glitches that I haven’t completely understood. Anyway, session.ui.thread_safe is perfect for resolving the issues we have with adding the surface to the empty session and running commands remotely. The curl solution also works; I had something like this implemented previously for some other purposes, but my own preference is to send commands/data directly rather than writing out a file to be read on the other end. Thanks again!

There are many reasons. First the Qt window toolkit is not thread safe -- all Qt GUI calls have to be done in the main thread. Violating that often results in a crash. But even without the GUI, imagine the main thread is looping over the list of open models while a second thread decides to add a model to that list -- this could break the looping thread many ways. Python has a global interpreter lock which means it only can run one thread at a time. Still if you pause one thread and then change the state of the ChimeraX session in another thread, the first thread could throw errors in countless ways when it resumes at an arbitrary point in the code with the data structures changed. In general very little software is thread safe because it is very difficult to implement. Usually that is only done by making threads not modify any data structures used by other threads. > > Here are two solutions. 1) Have your listener thread run the Python code it receives in the main thread rather than the listener thread.

How to get the average pTM scores from an Alphafold multimer prediction
by Chen, Henry 04 Jan '23

04 Jan '23

Dear Chimarax devs/users, I'm using ChimeraX Alphafold tool to do a multimer structure prediction. I was wondering how can I determine the average pTM score for each structure prediction? I get PAE.png and plddt.png file, but not a text file or anything that tells me the average pTM. (I was hoping the ranking file would give the average score but it does not) The models come with the pdb file as well as the scores.json files, but again I don't see anything that tells me the average pTM for the structure. Clearly the pTM per residue scores are saved in my pdb file, is there a command to average them all up? Thanks! Henry

ChimeraX linux binary problems
by Добромир Калчевски 19 Dec '22

19 Dec '22

Hello, I have installed Chimera linux from binary and everything was OK from the get-go. ChimeraX however, fails to start for library dependencies. As I understand the source depends on around 50 packages. I don't know (and I can find no indication on internet) how many libraries am I missing, but I'm also kind of limited in terms of disk space / linux size and my distro does not have a very nice package manager - Clear Linux (it installs entire bundles of similar packages, instead of single packages and once removed the disk size does not go down). Is it possible to make a ChimeraX linux binary which is as easy to run as the Chimera linux binary - universal for all distributions and including all necessary dependencies ? Best Regards, Dobromir

ChimeraX linux binaries too inconvenient
by Добромир Калчевски 19 Dec '22

19 Dec '22

Hello, Can you provide ChimeraX linux binary as useful as the Chimera linux binary ? - without all of the dependencies being outside of the package. Also, can the package simply install in the /home/username/.local/CHIMERAX... directory, just as Chimera or in a similar path ? (makes uninstallation easy, saves disk space). Many distros do not have package managers as convenient as those of Red Hat or Debian. For example I use Clear Linux (for the performance) and the dependencies are not even in the package manager. There is also no explicit list of dependencies and according to your web site there are about 50 of them, anyway. Basically whatever I do there is always a missing library I cannot easily find / compile / have no time for it, etc., so ChimeraX for me is out of reach. I tried Chimera from the linux binary and it ran just fine, but it lacks something in the GUI, which ChimeraX does not. The visualization settings fields can be scrolled up and down, so if I load let's say 12 molecular orbitals - I can easily hide / show the ones I need, instead of having them all on the screen and using the "Data set list" to manually show / hide each one. Best Regards, Dobromir
