Thanks, Tom -

I will try that; I am using a Mac.

Hi Sharyn,

If you want to try something still in the development stages, the ISOLDE plugin to ChimeraX (our next generation Chimera program) reads MTZ files.  You would install the ChimeraX daily build, run it and use Tools / More Tools… to get the ISOLDE plugin developed by Tristan Croll at University of Cambridge.  It only works on Linux and Mac.  Keep in mind that ChimeraX does not have a lot of the Chimera features — check out the ChimeraX web site to see if it might be useful to you.  Here is some info on ISOLDE

Hi Sharyn,
Sorry, Chimera does not read or convert mtz files.  (By the way, the address for Chimera questions is chimera-users at cgl.ucsf.edu<mailto:chimera-users at cgl.ucsf.edu> , CC’d here.)

Previous posts to this list suggest some other program such as CCP4 fft can be used to create a map file from an mtz file, for example:

You can search the Chimera-users mail archive for topics like "mtz" from here:

I hope this helps,

Is it possible to open an .mtz file in Chimera?
