Dear Tarit,
You could try the e-mail list chimera-users at cgl.ucsf.edu (actually I  
cc'ed it on this message).

However, you don't need a live person to help you learn how to use the  
program.  The Chimera download includes several tutorials, some for  
beginners:  choose "Help... Tutorials" from the Chimera menu to see  
the list.  Our Web site has additional tutorials (not just the ones in  
the Help menu):

<http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/Outreach/Tutorials/GettingStarted.html>
<http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/tutorials/tutorials.html>

Besides the tutorials, there is a complete user's manual (choose  
Help... User's Guide from the Chimera menu).  Just start Chimera and  
try one of the beginner tutorials, or just experiment, and you will  
gradually learn!
Best,
Elaine
