[Chimera-users] thermal ellipsoids

[Michael K. Gilson]

Hi,

Chimera and PyMol are showing very different thermal ellipsoid 
orientations for the same PDB file, and I have reason to believe that 
the PyMol display is the right one.
Here are the first two lines of the PDB file I am reading in:

Atom      1 O1   CUC     1       3.345   1.613   0.172
ANISOU    1 O1   CUC     1      619    156    528    150     43     -6
ATOM      2 O2   CUC     1      -1.699   0.125   2.792
ANISOU    2 O2   CUC     1      497    355    848    128    -68    204

I would appreciate help with this because Chimera appears to provide 
more detailed control of the coloring of the ellipsoids than PyMol does.

I'll be happy to provide screenshots or other information.

Regards,
Mike
