[Chimera-users] Recursive structure matching and acquisition of descriptive numbers

[Healey, Joe]

Hi Eric,


That looks good thank you. I think I'm going about this slightly the wrong way after some investigation however.


Am I right in thinking that chimera can't be imported in to python inside a normal bash shell, and rather it must be done the other way round? So file manipulation and such must be done by calls to the system from within the chimera python shell, rather than a python interpreter calling chimera modules in?


It certainly makes the chimera steps I plan to do much easier, but I was going to include it in a pipeline with some other programs and it makes that a little more taxing (though not insurmountable!).


Additionally, I plan to invoke this inside a script on a headless linux box (hence why running it through a python script was ideal), so whatever solution I use will need to be 'command line friendly'.


In effect all I need is the actual algorithm for the matching process to be accessed somehow from a python script.


Do you have any advice about how best to proceed?


Many thanks,


Joe Healey

Hi Joe,
This old chimera-users post has a Python script attachment that demonstrates how to call the underlying MatchMaker function to get the RMSD value programmatically.  The mailing list gives the attachment a ".bin" extension but it's really a .py file.  Just change the extension if you need to.  Let me know if you have any questions about how to adapt the script to your needs...

Hi,

I have several hundred structure simulations that were performed on our HPC resource. Each simulation has approximately 5 models associated with it. I also have HMM model homologies for each of these proteins.

I would like to use chimera's matchmaker function to compare the simulated structured to their nearest 'real' counterpart with a resolved structure. In order to do this I plan to script chimera to pull in the simulated models as well as the near homolog and then run the matchmaker algorithm.

My question is: can the RMSD value that is returned in the reply log be 'accessed directly' such that for each match that is performed, I can obtain the RMSD and thus a ranking for the best fitting structures - or will it require parsing the reply log?

Thanks
