[Chimera-users] surface failures

[Julian Marzi]

Dear Elaine Meng,

I tryed the surface option in different pdb files (also the 50S of E.coli) and always the same error (code 11- see attached). I also tried the different option of the webpage (Surface calculation failures and workaround).
I would like to have the surface structure of the chain 1 (25S of the yeast ribosome). Now I use the pdb file 3U5E and 3U5D. Please can you help me. Chimera is such a beautiful program and it always looks good, but in the most publication the surface structure is built up. 

Thank you

Best regards

Julian
