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.

Feature Highlight
The MOLEonline Server calculates channels in protein structures and provides several types of analyses. Results can be downloaded in several different formats, including JSON.
A JSON file downloaded from the MOLEonline Server can be opened in ChimeraX version 1.5 and newer. A sphere model is generated for each channel in the file, and if the file contains more than one channel, a slider interface will appear for flipping through them one by one. Since the channels are individual models in ChimeraX, it is also easy to view more than one at the same time, change their colors, etc. using the Model Panel and/or commands. For image setup, see the command file 2dkh-mole.cxc and data file 2dkh-channels.json. See also the MOLE Channel Coloring by Property tutorial.

Example Image
The GDP- and GTP-bound conformations of the transducin α-subunit (1tag and 1tnd, respectively) differ primarily in three regions, termed switch 1, switch 2, and switch 3. The structures have been superimposed with matchmaker and shown as cartoons, with “empty” outlines where the structures are almost the same (for simplicity, only one conformation's outlines are shown). The GTP analog GTPγS is displayed as spheres color-coded by heteroatom. For 2D labels and image setup other than structure orientation, see the command file switch.cxc.
