Hello, I am a newer user of ChimeraX and am having some trouble creating visualizations to characterize a channel of interest. I began by following the procedure outlined in the tutorial "MOLE Channel Coloring by Property" but quickly ran into some issues with my own channel. This led me to try the click-to-execute links for the example in the tutorial and I ran into the same problem. It seems ChimeraX cannot accept .json files that are not Alphafold PAE maps, meaning there is no way to visualize the results of the MOLEsever analysis. I have attempted parsing data from the .json into a usable file format such as a .bild or a .pdb in a separate anaconda kernel, and while I am able to get coordinates for a superimposed visualization, they are not selectable atoms that can be color-coded or manipulated as they are in the procedures following the "open molepore-1bl8.json" command. I know this is because I have not found a way to parse all of the useful data from the .json file into another format, but I do not see exactly how I would go about doing so. Is there a way to get ChimeraX to accept a .json file that is not a PAE plot without the need for parsing data or changing format? Thank you so much for the help!
