As I tried to explain before, there is nothing to show for your two proteins, the backbone conformation does not change. Even if you make a morph and play it, it will be the same as staring at the ribbon of either protein by itself without moving it. If you actually have created a morph trajectory that moves, you can click the red record button on the slider to save a movie, or use commands to record it, as explained in the help. <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/morph.html> Elaine

Hi Andrew, Just changing the side chain does not predict how the whole protein structure may change, it may only provide some hints depending on whether you gain/lose interactions. You could either show the two structures superimposed in two different colors or make a side-by-side close up of the same orientation (one protein on the left, on on the right). Or you could try to use some other software that predicts larger changes, not just changing the side chain atoms. I don't have a specific recommendation for that, sorry. Best, Elaine

Hello, To whom it may see this message. I see, there is a mutation between the 2 structures at the location of 1303 and I am trying to see how it effects the protein wild type. Do you have any recommendations to be able to see the effects of this mutation better? Best, Andrew

Hi Andrew, These two protein structures have the same backbone conformation as each other, or at least so similar that I can't see any difference. Morphing shows changes in backbone conformation, as well as in sidechains that are the same type in the two proteins. These might have some different sidechains but morphing will not show the "mutation" of the sidechain atoms, it will only keep the atoms that are the same between the two proteins. So anyway, morphing works fine for me, but essentially the whole morphing trajectory is just motionless because the conformation is the same between the two endpoints -- in other words, it doesn't make sense to morph them.
Maybe I am misunderstanding the situation, but that's what it looks like to me.
I don't know which tutorial you were using, so I couldn't understand what you meant by "tutorial proteins" either.
If you want to see a morph that actually changes conformation, try commands:
open 2gbp open 2fw0 mm #2 to #1 morph #1,2
If that doesn't work, there is also some other problem. If so, instead of sending email we recommend using menu: Help... Report a Bug to report it, including some description of what you did and what happened, and your email address if you would like a reply.
I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

Hello, I have been using ChimeraX with a mac book from 2020 with a 1.1 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i3, Intel Iris Plus Graphics 1536 MB and 8 GB of RAM. Everything seems to be working fine until I try to do a morph. Both proteins have been super positioned by matchmaker. I can only complete 5 frames out of the 60 with the command, morph #1,2 wrap true frames 60. However, I am not able to look through the frames, record or press play. I have tried it with the tutorial proteins as well and got stuck. The proteins that I am trying to morph will be attached to this email. I would like to ask if you could do a morphing for me or redirect me to be able to. I would also like to ask if it is a Graphis problem as I was also unsuccess full using a Dell laptop with a , 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1135G7 @ 2.40GHZ, 16GB of RAM, 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon.
