[Chimera-users] Difference between Chimera and ChimeraX

[Elaine Meng]

Thanks Markus, I was going to say exactly the same, at least for those who wanted a short summary.

If anybody wants a little more detail, I recommend scanning through just the top index of the ChimeraX User Guide and seeing if your features of interest are listed:

Of course, you can certainly use both programs.
Best,
Elaine
