[Chimera-users] Open .pse file in Chimera?

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Dez,
As you have found, Chimera does not read Pymol sessions.  Maybe you can restore the Pymol session in Pymol, save the structure as PDB file(s) from Pymol, and then open the PDB file(s) in Chimera.

Then see the “Fit in Map” tool and/or “fitmap” command in Chimera.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
