Re: [chimerax-users] Distance between two residues

Hi Kwangjun, There is a "distance" command to measure the distance between two atoms. So you would need to say which atoms (points) you want to measure between. See the help page with command "help distance" or see the copy at our website: https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/distance.html How to specify atoms in the command line https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/atomspec.html#hierarchy For example, to measure the CA-CA distance: distance /A:100@ca /B:200@ca Or if you mean you want all pairs of possible atom-atom distances you could use "contacts" with a permissive distance: https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/clashes.html contacts /A:100 restrict /B:200 dist 100 log true The User Guide index has a list of commands with short descriptions, for when you are trying to find a command that does a particular thing. Use menu: Help... User Guide, or see the copy at our website: https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/index.html I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hello, Do you have a command that measures the distance between two residues? For example, I have a dimer model, and I want to measure the distance between /A:100 and /B:200 Thanks! Kwangjun Lee
