Hi Dr Meng Please you could help me, how do you save the data in CHIMERAX? How can I save the energy of different poses? Thanks in advance Sincerely Pietro

Hi Pietro, It is better to send questions to the chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu address (CC'd here so you don't have to send it again), unless you are including private data. If you send only to me, it may not get answered. I removed your attachment in case it was private, but I see you are using ViewDockX. Of course, the energies and other descriptors of each pose are read from your original input file, so they are already "saved" there, but maybe you are trying to save as a spreadsheet format like CSV? It was not clear from your question. The ViewDockX "Save" button will just save another file that has all of the coordinates as well as the scores (like your original input file). There is no option to save a CSV file from the table, sorry. The only similar possibility is to convert the ViewDockX columns into a model attribute with this recipe <https://rbvi.github.io/chimerax-recipes/vdx_attrs/vdx_attrs.html> ... and then use the "save" command to save an attribute file <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/save.html#attributes> ... but in my opinion it would be MUCH easier just to process these values from your original input file (the one output by the docking program). You just can't do it with ChimeraX, sorry. Regards, Elaine ----- Elaine C.
