This is great, thank you so much! On Thu, Aug 31, 2023 at 6:51 PM Elaine Meng <meng@cgl.ucsf.edu> wrote:
Hi Revan, In ChimeraX, you would use the "morph" command to morph atomic structures; there is no tool graphical interface. We improved the command significantly, however, so it is much easier to use than the command in Chimera. For example, to morph between atomic models #1,2 with default options, you would just use:
morph #1,2
For additional command examples, see the "morph" help:
<https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/morph.html>
... as well as several additional examples in scripts and tutorials:

The atomic structures may need to be superimposed before you do the morphing. ChimeraX contains both a "matchmaker" command and Matchmaker tool (graphical interface), equivalent to each other but the tool may be easier to try at first and will show the command that it makes in the Log. Then if you want to script it, you know the equivalent "matchmaker" command. The Matchmaker tool is in the ChimeraX menu under Tools... Structure Analysis.
<https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/matchmaker.html> <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/tools/matchmaker.html>
So a simple script to open structures, superimpose them, and then morph between them might be:
open 2gbp open 2fw0 matchmaker #2 to #1 morph #1,2

Hello, For morphing my structures, I'm using ChimeraX 1.6.1, but I cannot find structure comparison and morph conformations in the tool menu. Could you please assist me with this? Thank you! Revan
