Previous news...Upcoming Events
UCSF ChimeraX (or simply ChimeraX) is the next-generation molecular visualization program from the Resource for Biocomputing, Visualization, and Informatics (RBVI), following UCSF Chimera. ChimeraX can be downloaded free of charge for academic, government, nonprofit, and personal use. Commercial users, please see licensing.
ChimeraX development is supported in part by grants from the National Institutes of Health (currently R01-GM129325, previously P41-GM103311).
Feature Highlight
Structures can be reinforced for 3D printing with pseudobonds. In this DNA-transcription factor complex (PDB 5ego), proteins are shown as ribbons and the DNA as a molecular surface. The pseudobonds in blue were read in from a manually created file, 5ego.pb, and further reinforcements in light gray were added automatically with the struts command. For image setup other than orientation, see the command file struts.cxc.
More features...Example Image
The GDP- and GTP-bound conformations of the transducin α-subunit (1tag and 1tnd, respectively) differ primarily in three regions, termed switch 1, switch 2, and switch 3. The structures have been superimposed with matchmaker and shown as cartoons, with “empty” outlines where the structures are almost the same (for simplicity, only one conformation's outlines are shown). The GTP analog GTPγS is displayed as spheres color-coded by heteroatom. For 2D labels and image setup other than structure orientation, see the command file switch.cxc.
