Chimera is a
standalone program
and can be installed on
windows, Linux &
MacOS.
Research
Outcome
Chimera can be used to
generate high quality
figures and animations
out of the query protein
model.
Analyzes
Chimera analyze the
molecular structures and
related data, including density
maps, supramolecular
assemblies, sequence
alignments.
