[Chimera-users] Analysis of the contact maps from the MARTINI MD trajectory

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Gleb,
If you are using the approach where you first start Cytoscape, use it to start Chimera, and then use the MD Movie tool to show the network, the residue interaction network (RIN) contacts-parameters dialog has options to limit the calculation to the selection. Even though you would still be using MD Movie with the trajectory, in the first RIN dialog you could specify only using a single specific frame (snapshot).

I hope this helps,
Elaine
