[Chimera-users] APBS

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Ben,
I do not have it installed myself, but after you download APBS source from github and compile it, I am guessing there will be a bin subdirectory somewhere in the resulting files with a file named apbs inside of it, and that that file [..whatever...]/bin/apbs would be the executable file.

The manual page for the Chimera APBS tool includes a link to the APBS GitHub:
<https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/apbs/apbs.html>

If it's too difficult to figure out, I recommend not using the Chimera APBS tool and instead just using the APBS web server directly, from here:
<https://server.poissonboltzmann.org/>

After running the server, you can open the resulting ESP file (.dx file) in Chimera and use it for coloring the molecular surface.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
