Hi James, when I put those lines in a file test.pdb and open it in ChimeraX, I can hide and show the whole residue or any of its atoms without any problems, so I don’t know what’s wrong in your case.
hide :CRQ show :CRQ hide H show :CRQ@HB12
(etc.)

- the second issue that it seems that the smooth-md script does not
work properly with chimera-X (in the script, I tried to increase number of frames to be smoothed up to 8, but eventually on the video it looked without smoothed effect like it was in the case of Chimera, shown on my previous video :-)

Hi James, This is an error in the Molecular Dynamics Viewer. It undoubtedly does not expect the number of atoms in the trajectory to change after it is opened. You should use the bug-reporting dialog to report these errors, not the mailing list. Regardless, I don’t think you need to be adding hydrogens. By default, the initial display suppresses the display of non-polar hydrogens (in both Chimera and ChimeraX) in order to simplify what’s shown. To show those hydrogens, type “show” or “show ligand”.

P.S. here is an additional question about chimeraX
as I have found it is possible to execute python scrips directly in chimera-X https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/devel/core/scripting.html what is the syntaxis for command line ? (e.g. load, like in Chimera, does not work here).

Hi Eric,
would it be possible to attach initial script for Chimera as well? Actually, I have tried to access the page, which I have sent, but it required autorisation.
сб, 13 июл. 2019 г. в 02:16, Eric Pettersen pett@cgl.ucsf.edu:
Hi James, Chimera had a script for trajectory smoothing (named smoothMD.py, available here: Scripts – Chimera). I ported it to ChimeraX and have attached it below. You run it simply by opening it in ChimeraX. The very first line of the script controls the “window size” (i.e. how many adjacent frames are used to compute the smoothing). You have to get tomorrow’s daily build because it uses a ChimeraX function that I just wrote to access the coordinates a certain way in Python.

Hi James, We haven’t implemented trajectory smoothing. ChimeraX doesn’t have much trajectory analysis yet, as mentioned in the “missing features” on the download page. The trajectory input types besides single PDB file are listed in the input formats table:
http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/open.html#formats http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/open.html#trajectory
It works a little differently than in Chimera. For these condensed trajectory formats you also have to open another file (which could be a single PDB structure) to provide the topology. See link above for details.
There is a ChimeraX plugin that you can download from the Toolshed (ChimeraX menu Tools… More Tools..) named MolecularDynamicsViewer but I don’t know in detail what it does, other than show the trajectory opened from a multimodel PDB file. It has a graphical interface. You could see if it makes what you’re doing any easier.
For your previous questions about Chimera: the defattr command just opens your attribute file exactly the same as using the Define Attribute tool. I don’t know for sure what is wrong with your using the Render dialog instead of rangecolor command, but probably you are not displaying the atoms but ribbons. To color ribbons, you have to render by residue (not atom) attribute, average bfactor. (the Chimera rangecolor command automatically does that, coloring atoms by the atomic values and coloring ribbons by the residue values) http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/rangecolor.html

some additional (more general) questions about MD trajectory analysis with Chimera and ChimeraX
1- is it possible to set some kind of smoothing on the trajectory (based on the analogy with v*d - trajectory smoothing windows size) ?
2- does Chimera-X recognize any other formats for trajectories besides pdb (in the same manner like it does Chimera)?
thanks in advance !

Hi Elaine,
Thank you so much for your suggestions! It seems to me that it works great but presently I am stacking on the step D.
Probably I have created the attribute file in a wrong way, because normally in Chimera I can colour b-factors using rangecolor bfactor key 1 blue 300 yellow 500 red , which works fine with my B-factor file.
Now, then I try to do the same using GUI window of Render/Select by Attribute (in which I can also save the attribute file, which is gonna to mapped onto the trajectory on the next step), nothing happens with the coloring of atoms while clicking Apply or Done ( I select attribute bfactor, color atoms, setting the attribute to atoms) ...
M.b. in my case it would be better to use "defattr" indeed in the same manner how I did it via "rangecolor bfactor" ?
thank you in advane!

Hi! Some steps would have to be done in Chimera, so you might rather use Chimera. However, if you really want to render in ChimeraX, it may be doable by using both programs, as detailed below.
(1) We would need an example file to be able to say or do anything about this. Sounds like the bonds are missing, but I don’t know what formatting issue would allow them to be shown in Chimera but not ChimeraX. You could use ChimeraX menu: Help… Report a Bug and attach the file plus short description and your e-mail address if you want feedback.
(2) If the PDB with the B-factors you want has EXACTLY the same atom/residue/chain names as the trajectory PDB files, I imagine the following:
(a) in Chimera, open the PDB file with the B-factors. Use Render by Attribute tool (Tools… Structure Analysis... Render by Attribute) menu: "File… Save Attributes” to save atomic attribute named bfactor to an assignment file. http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/render/render.html#saving
(b) still in Chimera, close that PDB and using MD Movie (in menu under Tools.. MD/Ensemble Analysis) open the trajectory from multiple PDB files and then assign the bfactor values from the file using Define Attribute tool (Tools… Structure Analysis… Define Attribute) or “defattr” command. http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/defineattrib/defineattrib.html http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/defattr.html
(c) still in Chimera, save the whole trajectory as a multi-model single PDB file. (ChimeraX cannot open a trajectory from multiple PDB files. If you can’t make it a single file, then you would need to use Chimera.) http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/savemodel.html
(d) in ChimeraX, open the trajectory and color by bfactor however you like, e.g. commands:
open my-multimodel-trajectory.pdb coordset true color byattribute bfactor palette rainbow range 2,100
http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/open.html#local http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/color.html#byattribute
(e) in ChimeraX, show the trajectory with the slider graphical interface or “coordset” command.
In the future more of these steps could be done in ChimeraX, but for now, you’d need to use a combination of the two programs.
I hope this helps, Elaine

Dear ChimeraX users!
I would like to make a movie of molecular dynamics trajectory that has been pre-converted to pdb format (totally 250 frames).
- Firstly, I have a problem with the recognition of the SS elements
of that ensemble in ChimeraX, where each snapshot looks just like a mixture of points ( i tried to use dssp but it did not solve the issue). At the same time the snapshots looks fine in another viewers including UCSF Chimera (not X)
- If I have a pdb of the same protein with mapped B-factors and then
I colored it using color byattribute bfactor palette rainbow range 2,100
- would it be possible to map the trajectory to that pdb in order to
see the motions (observed in MD) mapped onto the structure that has been coloured by b-factors?
