[chimerax-users] Molecular Docking problem

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Estela,
If you downloaded the ligand file, you don't need to configure your browser to use Chimera ViewDock.

Just start Chimera and start Viewdock (in menu under Tools... Surface/Binding Analysis) and then in the resulting dialog, choose and open the downloaded ligand file.  I don't remember what format Swissdock outputs, but I know Chimera ViewDock is commonly used for SwissDock results, so one of the format choices should work even though it doesn't say "swissdock":

Since I can't remember what format Swissdock outputs, I can't say if the ViewDockX tool in ChimeraX would work with it, but you could try that too.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
