[Chimera-users] [Chimera-announce] new Chimera release (v1.10)

[Elaine Meng]

Dear Debasish Banerjee,

There may have been changes in the  ModBase website, or maybe even the UniProt website -- you would need to ask those developers.   The ability of Chimera to show ModBase models did not change.

Today looking at the ModBase website, I'm having a problem  where it always says there are no models for some sequence, even when I know there are models.  I don't know if this is the same problem you were having.

I know there are models because I can fetch them using Chimera menu: File…Fetch by ID, choosing database: Modbase and entering a sequence ID (UniProt or other).  The same can be done with a command, for example: 

open modbase:P33533

So maybe you can use that approach instead.  Regards,

Elaine

In any entry where Modbase is used, clicking on search button next to the  Modbase entry used to open that structure entry page using Chimera. With the current version that doesn't seem to happen (as it was happening with the earlier versions). Please advice.

Of course, you have to be connected to the internet.  Otherwise, if you have some specific problem you can use Chimera menu: Help… Report a Bug and give enough information about the steps you tried so that somebody else could reproduce it.
