Saving ChimeraX log, saving protein sequence to file
Hi Prathvi, These answers are both for ChimeraX so I CC'd the chimerax-users list.
(1) ChimeraX command "log save" saves it as HTML https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/log.html
(2) in ChimeraX, open the structure, show the sequence of the chain of interest (menu: Tools... Sequence... Show Sequence Viewer, choose chain if there is more than one chain preset). Showing the sequence can also be done with the ChimeraX "sequence chain" command. https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/sequence.html#chain
Then in the sequence viewer window, the context menu has a choice to save the contents (File... Save As...). https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/tools/sequenceviewer.html#context
You show a context menu in ChimeraX with Ctrl-click or right-click (depending on your system) in the tool window. https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/window.html#context-menu
In Chimera, #2 is similar, use main tools menu to show sequence, use sequence-viewer tool's menu to save it to file. https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/multalignviewer/framemav.html

Thanks a lot Elaine. It helped enormously. I just have 2 more questions:
After running the dssp command in chimeraX, is there a command to save the reply log to file using a command? I searched for it & landed up at: https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimera-users/2009-April/003739.html but chimeraX throws the "Unknown command" error.
Is there a way to extract polypeptide sequence from a PDB file & save as a FASTA file or even a simple text file which simply contains a string representing the amino acids as single letters alphabets?
