[Chimera-users] Atom box

[temban billyhp]

Hi sir, I downloaded chimera 1.13.1 at a website for free. Also, I am able to use the software without any licence needed. I carried out some research work using the software. Presently I am about to submit a paper for publication using your references. In this case, Will it be proper for me to submit a paper for publication using your references. Best wishes Billy.

Maybe you want the “vop cover” command with “atomBox” option.  Also, this makes a new volume, so you would measure that new volume (not #0).

For example, commands:

open edsID:1a0m
open 1a0m

… now the map is #0 and the atomic model is #1 …

~ribbon
display
volume #0 level 0.7
sel :6.a
vop cover #0 atomBox sel

… this makes new map #2 …  there is also a “pad" option, see 
<http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/vop.html#cover>

volume #0 hide
measure volume #2

However, is that really what you want to measure, the volume inside the isosurface within a rectangular box?  See also the Volume Viewer “Zone” feature and/or command “vop zone.”

I hope this helps,
Elaine
