Overview

UCSF Chimera is a highly extensible program for interactive visualization and analysis of molecular structures and related data, including density maps, supramolecular assemblies, sequence alignments, docking results, trajectories, and conformational ensembles. High-quality images and animations can be generated. Chimera includes complete documentation and several tutorials, and can be downloaded free of charge for academic, government, non-profit, and personal use.

Chimera is developed by the Resource for Biocomputing, Visualization, and Informatics, funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIGMS P41-GM103311).

What's new in Chimera

Version 1.14.0.42094:

Note: Now requires OS X 10.10 or later

General Changes:

AmberTools updated to version 18
Previous/Next buttons added to activation/display button rows below the command line, for quickly cycling through (or toggling between) model display and/or activation

Tool Changes:

Area/Volume from Web (Surface/Binding Analysis) — removed because the NIH StrucTools server is no longer available
Multalign Viewer (Sequence) — option to get annotations from the Conserved Domain Database (CDD) removed due to CDD changes
MD Movie preserves PSF segment name as residue attribute segment, and reports the segment names to the Reply Log as the trajectory is read. Therefore a segment named XYZ could be referenced in a command using the atom specifier :/segment=XYZ

Notable Bug Fixes:

Upgraded Tk windowing toolkit to fix bug on Mac where specifying multiple coordinate files in MD Movie could hang Chimera.
Fixed problem at startup with libfontconfig on recent versions of Linux.
Fixed problem reading GROMACS trajectories on recent versions of Linux.
