Hi Elaine,

There has been a recent message on the pdb2pqr/apbs bb about transferring the programs to a new site:
 http://apbs-rest-test.westus2.cloudapp.azure.com/

Would it be possible to access APBS via Chimera in the new location?

Below please find pasted the message from Nathan Baker about the site change:

------------------------
Hello –
 
I’m sorry about the problems you are experiencing.  Can you please let us know if you are using http://apbs-rest-test.westus2.cloudapp.azure.com/ or http://nbcr-222.ucsd.edu/pdb2pqr_2.0.0/ when you encounter this problem?
 
Thank you,

Dear Chimera users,

The Autodock Vina, APBS, and PDB2PQR tools in Chimera rely on web services provided by another lab, the National Biomedical Computation Resource. However, these web services are scheduled to be retired on April 30, 2020.

When that happens, the Autodock Vina, APBS, and PDB2PQR tools in Chimera will no longer work, except for the (very few) people who use the tools to run locally installed copies of the program instead of the web services.

Thanks Elaine

I am also curious about the future of the Modeller tool to refine loops via homology.

will that also phase out?

Hi Gregory,
The other web services used by Chimera (Modeller, Blast Protein, Clustal Omega, MUSCLE, and others) won't be affected at this time because they're provided by our lab (RBVI), not the NBCR.
Best,
Elaine

Hi Eric,

Thank you very much for your help. Although I am not sure whether is the university or the mailing list blocked the code content. Nevertheless, I appreciate your help.

Best regards,

Ben

Subject: Re: [Chimera-users] Imagine processing from gromacs

Hi Ben,
Typically, one "wraps" a PBC trajectory to produce a new trajectory where molecules stay whole on one side of the box or the other.  For Gromacs, the tool for that is trjconv, perhaps with the "-pbc whole" flags.  See this page: gmx trjconv - GROMACS 2018 documentation<https://imsva91-ctp.trendmicro.com:443/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2furldefense.proofpoint.com%2fv2%2furl%3fu%3dhttp%2d3A%5f%5fmanual.gromacs.org%5fdocumentation%5f2018%5fonlinehelp%5fgmx%2d2Dtrjconv.html%26d%3dDwMFaQ%26c%3dKXXihdR8fRNGFkKiMQzstu%2d8MbOxd1NuZkcSBymGmgo%26r%3dEElAJhvpEXZIOG4aO3Q%5f1Fg1wh%2diIcDTLJ2t8QVMlxU%26m%3dpJfYo02dBWyMImWhNt9SQhEshAF42kEnCABBWjH3NjM%26s%3dVfw1MLZfC1pHcWEsIFazzl3tZ%2d0l%2dfHmOMBi6IeaOBs%26e%3d&umid=1193A768-A400-A205-949C-BD11EB526413&auth=701951cf8dfb7cd99762e0f5be252082d875f1cf-17b8b3991cfc711054f4afcfdd51feb0f255c2ed>.
If wrapping a trajectory is problematic for some reason, you could define a per-frame Python script to hide long bonds.  I have attached such a script.  To use it, in the MD Movie GUI choose the Per-Frame?Define script... menu entry, and in the resulting dialog change the script type to "Python" and use the "Insert text file" button near the button to insert the attached Python file.  Then click OK.  Long bonds should disappear and you can play your trajectory and bonds will be hidden and shown appropriately.

Dear developer,

There is an issue show up when I open a chimeraX session made from another computer(windows 10, chimeraX version 0.93) in macOS(chimeraX version 0.92). Here is the picture, could you tell me the possible reason? I can't fix it at present. Thank you very much!
