Mol 2.0 desktop version

Good day, I am trying to interface ChimeraX with a XML file that was converted to json to perform MOLE Channel Coloring by Property. However, I did not use the mole server. I used the desktop version since the server was unavailable. Thus, I received this error : molepore-7sqf.json does not look like Mole Online json file, does not contain Channels. Can anyone assist me with this? Thanks, Respectfully, Nicholas Nicholas Koylass Ph.D. Candidate, Department of Physiology, Qiu Lab XDBio Graduate Program Johns Hopkins School of Medicine nkoylas1@jh.edu

Hi Nicholas, Not all JSON is the same, and it is also unclear how you converted from XML to JSON. The ability to read JSON specifically from the MOLE Online server and to interpret it as channel data was added to ChimeraX, but if you have some other JSON it may not be simple to convert it to what the MOLE Online JSON reader expects. (We have also added readers for other specific kinds of JSON files such as PAE information from AlphaFold 3.) It is a very broad file specification. Does the desktop MOLE version give you a json file, or does it only give you an XML file? If so, how did you convert it to JSON? You could use menu: Help... Report a Bug and describe the issue (including the answers to these questions) and most importantly, attach an example JSON file, but it's not really a bug. We could open a ticket and take a look, but I can't promise that you will be able to use that file in the future. We might also ask for the XML if that's what the program actually gives you.

Hi Elaine, The desktop version provides an XML file. I converted this to a JSON using the XML to JSON Converter (codeshack.io)<https://codeshack.io/xml-to-json-converter/> I attached the XML and the respective JSON file to the email. The specific bug is " molepore-7sqf.json does not look like Mole Online json file, does not contain Channels."

Hi Nicholas, It would have been better if you had followed my suggestion of using ChimeraX menu: Help... Report a Bug, because that would automatically make a ticket for us. However, we will try to make a ticket out of your email manually instead. Elaine
