[Chimera-users] Doubt regarding cryeom map density threshold setting

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Rakesh,

   Chimera is not able to compute the local resolution of an EM map.  
Giovanni Cardone at the NIH has made a Chimera plug-in that does this 
and he talked about it at the 2011 3DEM Gordon conference.  I don't know 
whether he ever distributed it.  You should ask him.

   Also Chimera does not have any method for computing local 
cross-correlation between a PDB model and a map.  That would be nice.  
Is there a journal article evaluating a specific method for doing that?

   For your Chimera internet connection problem it would help to know 
what Chimera web service you are trying to use.  Are you fetching a PDB 
model?  building a homology model?  running BLAST? getting Uniprot 
annotations?  Chimera has lots of web services
