Equivalent of surface colour by radius in tools/Volume viewer of Chimera

Hi, In ChimeraX, is there an equivalent of surface colour by radius in tools/Volume viewer of Chimera? I would like to colour an EM density map of a virus from its centre to the outside of the capsid with direct colour range in ChimeraX. Thanks. Regards, Shabih

Hi Shabih, Sorry, not yet. There is coloring by map value and by zone (to match nearby atoms or markers), but coloring by distance (radial, topographic height) is not yet implemented in ChimeraX. <http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/color.html> Regards, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hi Elaine, Thanks a lot for the information. Is it possible to calculate electrostatic potential within ChimeraX or load Delhpi files? Thanks. Regards, Shabih

Hi Shabih, There is no ESP calculation tool or interface in ChimeraX, but you can open a pre-existing .phi file (from DelPhi academic or GRASP), .grd file (from UHBD), or .dx file (from APBS) e.g. to use it to color a molecular surface by map values. ChimeraX input map formats: <http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/open.html#volume> Regards, Elaine
