[Chimera-users] pdb format

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Batsal,
I am not sure I understand the question.  You can save PDB files or 
Mol2 files as described in
http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/savemodel.html

These are the only formats currently available for writing out 
molecular coordinates.  Currently there is no way to save MD 
trajectories in any of the other MD formats, only as PDB (after playing 
all of the frames you want to save,  choose File... Save PDB or one of 
the other methods described in the man page above and use the setting 
to Save "all frames").

I am not sure what you mean by "Chimera format" - there isn't really a 
Chimera format for molecular structure, unless you mean a session file, 
or perhaps a PDB file written by Chimera. Why not use the original MD 
format in the MD program?  I am not sure why you want to put the data 
through Chimera before going back to the MD program.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
