Chimera does have the capability to do this, but you actually have to make a slight modification to the Chimera code to turn on the capability. First, you would need to get the Gaussian trajectory into one of the formats that Chimera can read. The trajectory formats that Chimera supports are listed here:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/current/docs/ContributedSoftware/movie/framemovie.html" class="">https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/current/docs/ContributedSoftware/movie/framemovie.html</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Then, to turn on the “dynamic bonds” capability you would need to edit the file<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i class=""><your Chimera installation></i>/share/Trajectory/__init__.py and after line 26, which looks like this:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"></span><i class="">solventResNames = set(["HOH", "WAT", "H2O", "D2O", "SOL", "TIP3”])</i></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">add this line:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"></span><i class="">dynamicBonds = True</i></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Use the same indentation as for the<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i class="">solventResNames</i> line — indentation is important in Python [on a Mac,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i class=""><your Chimera installation></i> is Chimera.app/Contents/Resources]. Then save the file and start Chimera. Chimera should be able to play the trajectory and show bonds breaking and forming. The change you made causes Chimera to recompute the bonds every frame, so it may slow down your first play through of the trajectory and might slow it down a little on subsequent play throughs (it remembers the bonds after the first play through) — so you might want to undo the change after you are completely done.</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"></span>The link I gave above also has a section on “Recording a Movie” that you should read through, and probably follow some of the links in that, such as the “making movies” and “tips on preparing images” links.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">—Eric</div><div class=""><br class=""><div class=""><div class="" style="letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;"><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"></span>Eric Pettersen</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"></span>UCSF Computer Graphics Lab</div><div class=""><br class=""></div></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div><div class=""><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Nov 30, 2018, at 6:23 AM, Yu Guo <<a href="mailto:yg2@kth.se" class="">yg2@kth.se</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class="">Dear Elaine,<br class=""> How can I use Chimera/ChimeraX to make a reaction movie for Gaussian16's IRC trajectory?<br class="">________________________________________<br class="">发件人: Elaine Meng <<a href="mailto:meng@cgl.ucsf.edu" class="">meng@cgl.ucsf.edu</a>><br class="">发送时间: 2018年11月27日 17:57<br class="">收件人: Yu Guo<br class="">抄送: chimera-users<br class="">主题: Re: [Chimera-users] 答复: 答复: needing help for separating structures<br class=""><br class="">Dear Yu Guo,<br class="">Well, ChimeraX is changing every day because it is actively under development. It is faster and better at handling large structures, and has some fancier display options… it is the “next generation” software that we intend will eventually replace Chimera. However, it will be some time before it reaches that goal; Chimera has several analysis or modeling tools that are not (yet) in ChimeraX, and currently ChimeraX features are nearly all commands and very few GUIs. However, ChimeraX has some new features that were never in Chimera, like support for VR and more robust/reliable molecular surface calculations, and improvements of features that were also in Chimera, like morphing molecules.<br class=""><br class="">See ChimeraX advantages summary:<br class=""><<a href="http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/advantages.html" class="">http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/advantages.html</a>><br class=""><br class="">...ChimeraX feature highlights:<br class=""><<a href="http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/features.html" class="">http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/features.html</a>><br class=""><br class="">...and the “missing features” list in the ChimeraX download page:<br class=""><<a href="http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/download.html" class="">http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/download.html</a>><br class=""><br class="">Regards,<br class="">Elaine<br class="">-----<br class="">Elaine C.

I took a look at the associated paper in Nature and they don’t really say exactly how they described the two states, but they do mention modeling them at reduced occupancy. So my best guess if one structure has more than one state, they are described in the file is with “alternate locations” for some atoms (i.e. multiple positions for a given atom) with reduced occupancy values. For me, it is harder to figure out with mmCIF file than PDB because I’m more familiar with looking at PDB files in a text editor.<br class=""><br class="">Usually when there are alternate locations, they are A and B. So, you could select (or “delete” instead of “select” but then there is no going back other than by re-opening the original file) all atoms with alternate locations A with command:<br class=""><br class="">select @.A<br class=""><br class="">… and similarly for alternate location B. In my tests, it looks like A has the lower occupancy than B, and selecting alternate location A or B will each select 2188 atoms. You could also select by occupancy value; however, I get different numbers depending on the value I choose, presumably omitting some atoms with alternate locations or including some of the atoms that do NOT have alternate locations, so be careful using that method:<br class=""><br class="">select @/occupancy<0.4<br class="">… I avoid using “=“ because rounding issues may prevent exact match<br class="">select @/occupancy<0.45<br class="">… or you can use a range, e.g.<br class="">select @/occupancy>0.5 and occupancy<0.75<br class=""><br class="">Because they did not clearly state in the paper (or at least I didn’t see it), I could not be sure, but guessing that alternate location A is the minority state and alternate location B is the majority state, and atoms without alternate locations were the same in both states.<br class=""><br class="">How I figured out that alternate location A appears to have lower occupancy than B is with these commands:<br class="">~disp<br class="">~ribbon<br class="">disp :ala<br class="">labelopt info occupancy<br class="">label :ala@.A<br class="">~label<br class="">label :ala@.B<br class=""><br class="">I hope this helps,<br class="">Elaine<br class="">-----<br class="">Elaine C.

ChimeraX is much faster reading mmCIF than Chimera. Also it automatically only uses the alternate location set with average higher occupancy (in this case B). However, if you want to show the altloc set with lower occupancy, there is no easy/convenient method for it yet, although it can be done with a setattr command.<br class=""><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class="">On Nov 24, 2018, at 11:28 AM, Yu Guo <<a href="mailto:yg2@kth.se" class="">yg2@kth.se</a>> wrote:<br class=""><br class="">Dear Sir/Madam,<br class=""> I am using Chimara to display large proteins.
