You can use Python in ChimeraX to find the shortest distance. Here is some example code closest.py to do that. https://rbvi.github.io/chimerax-recipes/closest/closest.html <https://rbvi.github.io/chimerax-recipes/closest/closest.html> If you open that Python code in ChimeraX it registers a command "closest" open 7LUP closest /A to /B maxDist 100 > Minimum distance 2.27 between /A LYS 45 NZ and /B ASP 522 OD1 Tom

Dear all,
I am interested in measuring the shortest distance between two models (PDBs) without a priori knowledge of which atoms will be the closest ones. I am planning to do this for a large number of model pairs, therefore it would be great if this would be scriptable. Is this possible using ChimeraX? Thanks a lot in advance,
Best, Matthias
