Hi,

Is there a way in Chimerax to know the actual APBS electrostatic potential values in various points on the surface?
Is there such feature already in Chimerax that I missed? Such feature is essential (I think) to monitor subtle changes in surface potential following mutations or other variations (pH, salt concentration etc.). If it's not there yet, could you please add it to the (enormous, I guess) to-do list?

 In Chimera this is done by moving  the cursor to the various points of interest, a feature that I found most useful (and helpful in convincing color blind referees 😉). 

Cheers,

               Boaz
