You can use Python in ChimeraX to find the shortest distance. Here is some example code closest.py to do that. https://rbvi.github.io/chimerax-recipes/closest/closest.html If you open that Python code in ChimeraX it registers a command "closest" open 7LUP closest /A to /B maxDist 100
Minimum distance 2.27 between /A LYS 45 NZ and /B ASP 522 OD1

I am planning to do this for a large number of model pairs, therefore it would be great if this would be scriptable. Is this possible using ChimeraX?
