[Chimera-users] Tutorials

[Bobby Barnett]

Dear Elaine,

I meant to thank you earlier for the many tutorials you provided, but I got
distracted.

I did have another question and i will post it on the regular way if it is
needed, but is there a tutorial using the Autodock Vina under the tools
Surface Binding Analysis option?  I have tried several times to perform
this with one of the autodock tutorials and can't get it to work under
chimera.

Thanks again for your help.  I really appreciate all of the tutorials and
the videos that you and your group provide.
