Hello, <br>
<br>
I am an MPhil researcher at the University of Manchester based in laboratory of Professor Bob Ford. I have been using cryo-electron tomography to build a 3D volume containing mucins (High Mr heavily glycosylated polypeptides) which are what my research focusses
on. We use a Tecnai 300kV Polara and Gatan's Digital Micrograph software to create tomograms of our samples and then IMOD to view them.
<br>
<br>
Recently I was told that Chimera would be a very useful tool when married with the data from IMOD so I downloaded a copy from your website. I regret to admit that I had several problems with the programme and eventually had to delete. The main problem was that
my computer continued to blue-screen and perform very slowly if at all. The labtop I was using has the following spec.;
<br>
CPU: Intel Core i5 <br>
VGA: NVIDIA Geforce 310M/1GB DDR3<br>
RAM: DDRIII 4GB (2GB*2)<br>
OS: Windows 7 64-bit<br>
<br>
Is my PC inadequate or is it possible I downloades a corrupted/unstable version of Chimera?<br>
<br>
I would very much like to try and start using Chimera again but would first like some advice on what the original problem may have been.
<br>
<br>
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. <br>
<br>
Thanks, <br>
<br>
Guy Hughes. <br>
