[chimera-dev] Could I ask some questions about Chimera?

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Archeries,
Chimera does not predict protein structure.  Maybe you are looking at the Modeller interface in Chimera?

Modeller is from a different group, and it is covered by a different license agreement.  For literature references and licensing information, see the Modeller website.

I hope this helps,
Elaine

These days I have been learning Protein Structure Prediction, and according to my advisor's suggestion, I'm going to study the protein structure prediction function of Chimera. I searched information of Chimera, but unfortunately have not got enough. I wonder if you could spare some time for my questions?
