[chimerax-users] Generating map from structure

[Elaine Meng]

Dear Roksana,
The command "molmap" creates a map model from an atomic model, for example

open 1zik
molmap protein 8

See the "molmap" help for explanation of the resolution value and other command options:
<https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/molmap.html>

I hope this helps,
Elaine

> I have a model of my protein in pdb format, which I am trying to save as .mrc or any sort of volume file on chimera. However, since its a model and do not have any coordinate in the file like xtal or NMR structure, it won’t save it as .mrc or volume file and was giving me the error.

> I want to create a volume file from the model to load on cryoSPARC or relion and create 2D projections to help me pick better 2D classes from my raw data. Do you think there is an option to do something like this on chimera?
