Previous news...Upcoming Events
UCSF ChimeraX (or simply ChimeraX) is the next-generation molecular visualization program from the Resource for Biocomputing, Visualization, and Informatics (RBVI), following UCSF Chimera. ChimeraX can be downloaded free of charge for academic, government, nonprofit, and personal use. Commercial users, please see ChimeraX commercial licensing.
ChimeraX is developed with support from National Institutes of Health R01-GM129325 and the Office of Cyber Infrastructure and Computational Biology, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
Feature Highlight
Multimeric assemblies defined in a structure's mmCIF file are automatically listed when the file is opened and can be reconstituted with the sym command. The complex of selenocysteine synthase and tRNASec (PDB 3w1k) is shown as molecular surfaces of different colors for different chains. The asymmetric unit is on the left and the assembly specified in the mmCIF file is on the right, with arrow and text annotations from 2dlabels. See the command file sym.cxc.

The photosynthetic reaction center from a
purple sulfur bacterium is shown as a cartoon with “tube” helices
and membrane boundaries from the OPM database (Orientations of Proteins in Membranes,
entry 1eys).
Blue and red balls represent the cytoplasmic and periplasmic sides
of the bacterial inner membrane, respectively.
The title and other text labels were added with the
2dlabels
command and repositioned interactively with the move label
mouse mode
.
