It appears to be a message from another program (not ChimeraX): the APBS program, which calculates electrostatic potential. The error is exactly what it says: some residues in the structure are missing some atoms, which would affect the calculation of electrostatic potential values.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Short answer #1 is why not look at the interactions in ChimeraX instead of Pymol? You can calculate H-bonds, find contacts, etc. See this tutorial, for example</div><div class=""><<a href="https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/tutorials/binding-sites.html" class="">https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/tutorials/binding-sites.html</a>></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Short answer #2 is that you can open the session (cxs) file in ChimeraX and then save a PDB file with the "save" command or the menu: File... Save... (choose Files of type: PDB). </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">HOWEVER, a longer answer may be required here because I can see from opening your cxs file that it contains many models, I guess a receptor (model #1) and ligands from docking (models #2-258) with only some ligands displayed (models #10-17). </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I'm guessing you want to save only the ones that are displayed. You could save models #1,10-17 into one multi-model PDB, file but probably for analysis in Pymol or other programs, you would instead need to combine each ligand with receptor and save it separately. In other words, you may need to make a new model by combining #1 with #10, and then save the new single model to a PDB file. For example:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">combine #1,10 modelId #300</div><div class="">save /Users/meng/Desktop/result10.pdb models #300 relModel #1 </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Then repeat for other ligands, combining #1 with #11 to make a new model and saving that new model, combining #1 with #12, etc. See the help links below for the options of each command.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Save command:</div><div class=""><<a href="https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/save.html#pdb" class="">https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/save.html#pdb</a>></div><div class="">Combine command:</div><div class=""><<a href="https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/combine.html" class="">https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/combine.html</a>></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I hope this helps,</div><div class="">Elaine<br class=""><div class=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal; border-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none;"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><div class="">-----</div><div class="">Elaine C.
