[Chimera-users] Tutorials

[Bobby Barnett]

Dear Elaine,

Thanks for the advice about using the Autodock Vina option under
Surface/Binding Analysis.  I have run this with both the web based option
and the local option and get  the same error "[Errno 13] Permission denied:
'trial.receptor.pdb'"  I don't see a way around this error.  Do I need to
run the program as Administrator?

Thanks again for your help.

Bobby Barnett
