<div class="" style="word-wrap:break-word; line-break:after-white-space">You can use Python in ChimeraX to find the shortest distance. Here is some example code closest.py to do that.

<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">If you open that Python code in ChimeraX it registers a command "closest"</div>
