What to do if ChimeraX software doesn't recognise the .chimerax file downloaded from SwissDock after docking? Gabriel
Hi Gabriel, ChimeraX can read Swissdock files of the PDB type. I know it's confusing but ".chimerax" means Chimera (old Chimera) web data and was named a long time before we decided to name the new program ChimeraX. You cannot read a .chimerax file with ChimeraX! After you get the PDB file output from Swissdock: (1) make sure you have a new enough ChimeraX (version 1.6 or higher). (2) you also have to use "format swissdock" in the "open" command or choose file type "SwissDock" in the file-opening dialog when you open that file. If you did both of those and still have problems, let us know (could use Report a Bug and attach the file unless it needs to stay private). I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.
