[Chimera-users] Selecting bonds/pseudobonds with a cutt-off distance

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Yasser,
Sorry, Chimera does not include a command or tool to select bonds or pseudobonds by length.  There might be something similar in the Chimera plugins on the web (developed by others), say Xlink Analyzer, but I don’t know for certain:
<http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/plugins/plugins.html>

If you use ChimeraX instead, it can be done for pseudobonds (but not bonds) with the “select” command and the “minimumLength” and/or “maximumLength” option, see:
<http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/select.html#new>

In ChimeraX you can also display an interactive histogram of pseudobond lengths with the “crosslinks histogram” command, as shown here for H-bonds:
<http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/features.html#hbond-histogram>

I hope this helps,
Elaine
