Hi Tom Thank you for getting back to me. It was very helpful. Can the files you open be easily manipulated by selecting amino acids on the sequence or structure? Is there a way to superimpose and compare a protein bound with two different ligands?

You can open it in ChimeraX 1.9 by first opening the predicted structure pred.rank_0.cif using the File / Open dialog. Then use menu Tools / Structure Prediction / AlphaFold Error Plot to open the PAE file pae.rank_0.npy. This shows the PAE as a heat map as shown in the image below. Use current ChimeraX version 1.9 not 1.8 since Chai-1 didn't exist when 1.8 was released and so the numpy PAE format was only added in 1.9. For an explanation how to visualize that on the structure see this description https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/data/pae-apr2022/pae.html The scores.rank_0.json file contains summary confidence scores (per-chain pTM, between chain ipTM, ...) and clashes on a whole model or per-chain level. ChimeraX doesn't have any tool to visualize those but you can show them in any text editor, image below.

I'm not sure what their json output is. Your best bet is probably finding how the data in your files relates to chimerax' api and writing a script to connect the two.
