Hello, 
Is it possible to use Chimera to dock a small ligand into a binding pocket pdb - and if so how is the ligand imported into the protein pdb file ?
Yours Sincerely,
Joseph Boyle

Hi Yan,
        You _could_ write a script to do the averaging, but you would pretty 
much have to be an expert on how Chimera handles trajectory data to 
be able to write it in any reasonable amount of time.  Since I am 
such an expert, I've written the script for you and attached it to 
this message.  To do the averaging, simply have your trajectory open 
and then open the script (either with the File...Open menu or with 
the "open" command).
        Note that the script rewrites the coordinates of the trajectory.  
The only way to restore the trajectory to the "unaveraged" state is 
by reopening the original files.  The main parameter in the script 
you might want to change is the "window" variable, which controls how 
many adjacent frames contribute to the averaging.  The value in the 
script right now is 2, which means that the two frames to each side 
of a frame contribute to the average (with further-away frames 
contributing less).

--Eric
