[chimerax-users] Analysis of docking results

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Luigi,
(1) if the structure really does have chains B and C, the other chains should also be in the same menu (Select... Chains).

(2) Sorry, but ChimeraX's ViewDockX tool does not read SwissDock output currently. For easily looking through the docked ligands one by one and seeing their scores, you would still need to use the ViewDock tool in Chimera (not ChimeraX).  

There is a ticket open to make ViewDockX/ChimeraX understand SwissDock output, but we have not had time to work on that yet:
<https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/trac/ChimeraX/ticket/4232>

I hope this helps,
Elaine
