[chimerax-users] ChimeraX Python Scripting for EM Maps

[Steven Truong]

To whom it may concern,

Hello!  I was hoping to ask for some help in Python Scripting in ChimeraX.  Specifically, I am trying to fit structure files (.PDB) to electron density maps (.MAP).  Is there a way to do this in .PY scripts in ChimeraX?  I can’t seem to find such a command like “fitmap” in the documentation here (https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/devel/modules.html).  Additionally, it seems like the “Read and Write PDB Files” page (https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/devel/bundles/atomic/src/pdbio.html) of the documentation page hasn’t been updated.  Is there another place that outlines how to save structures?

Thank you,
Steven Truong
