[Chimera-users] Ramachandran Plots

[Eric Dawson]

There is a nice OpenGL based MD-viewer called MDdisplay (that I think
there are links to download on the AMBER website). This code was developed
in the research group of Terry Lybrand at Vanderbilt and has the features
that you are requsting. It is cross-platform running on WinX, MacOSX,
Linux, and SGI (maybe Alpha too).

To my knowledge, Chimera does not have a Ramachandran plot feature,
however MDdisplay does. It reads AMBER and Charmm trajectory files. I have
copied this email to the current author from the Lybrand group in case you
have questions about obtaining and installing the software on your system.

Best,

Eric
