[Chimera-users] Highlighting the H bonds during simulation

[Natesh Singh]

Dear Elaine,
Thanks for help. The script worked out fine.

I have another two queries:
A. When I run the per frame script and record the movie, then I could 
not see the original h-bond width in the movie which I had changed from 
pseudobondgroup panel (line width: 5.0 from 1.0), though line style from 
bold to dashed could be seen in the movie.
The new width is properly displayed in the chimera window but not 
reflecting in the movie.

B. I would like to know how chimera is clustering the trajectory.., on 
what basis the number of clusters are obtained and what cut off is used 
during the process. I think based on pairwise rmsd matrix it's doing the 
clustering and cut off is used to identify the unique clusters. I could 
not find the same in the documentation so it would be nice if could 
shade some light on this. I was thinking if chimera could also give 
cluster map of the trajectory, where we could see different clusters and 
distances between them.

Best regards,
