[chimerax-users] Open a PDB-formatted file and a MTZ file

[Wen-Jin Winston Wu]

Hi Tristan,

 

Thanks a lot for your help!

I have installed your ISOLDE in ChimeraX, and was able to load the mtz file
using the "Load crystallographic dataset" button on ISOLDE's GUI.

 

I will try "open filename.mtz structureModel #{model id}" after I am more
familiar with the file path syntax in ChimeraX. 

 

Best wishes,

Winston

Hi Winston, 

 

The failure to open a MTZ file properly via the File/Open GUI is my fault,
and something I'll be remedying with the next release of ISOLDE/Clipper. For
now, you can do it at the command line using "open filename.mtz
structureModel #{model id}", or via the "Load crystallographic dataset"
button on ISOLDE's GUI.

 

Best regards,

Tristan

Subject: [chimerax-users] Open a PDB-formatted file and a MTZ file 

 

Hi,

 

I am trying to inspect electron density of X-ray data.

I have the PDB-formatted coordinate file a.pdb (not been submitted to PDB
yet) and a mtz file (a.mtz).

I have downloaded Clipper to Chimera X (1.2.5) running on Window 10. 

 

I have opened my a.pdb, and I then tried to open my a.mtz file from the
File-Open and I specified the file type with "*.mtz", and opened the a.mtz
file, but I then got the error message: "Must specify a structure model to
associate with crystallographic data".

 

I know that I was not doing it correctly (e.g. not typing proper commands
with correct syntax.). I looked into the description in the URL below.
However, I just could not get it work. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

Best wishes,
