Hi Is there an easy way to export the list of similar PDB structures, the % sequence ID, E-value etc that can be found using FOLDSEEK to an excel file.

Hi Lynne, The Foldseek results are automatically cached in a JSON ".sms" file (e.g. on my Mac the default location is in ~/Downloads/ChimeraX/Foldseek/ ), but (1) there are lots of other numbers that you may not want (coordinates, perhaps) (2) I don't know how hard it would be to extract just the parts that you want and get them into Excel The sms files are described here <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/formats/sms.html> ...but you should just look at the ones on your own system with a text-editor to really understand the contents. I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hi Lynne, In tomorrow's ChimeraX daily build and release candidate you can right click (or ctrl click) on the Foldseek results table to show a menu and choose "Save CSV or TSV File..." to save the table as a comma-separated-values or tab-separated-values text file. You should be able to read that into Excel. It saves the entire table. Currently there is not a way to save just the selected table rows. Tom
