Maybe this mmCIF table info with links could be logged in a table when the file is opened. Begin forwarded message: From: Ben Webb via ChimeraX-users Subject: [chimerax-users] Any interest in reading ModelArchive metadata from mmCIF files? Date: November 12, 2021 at 10:20:19 AM PST To: ChimeraX Users Help Reply-To: Ben Webb Do you have any plans to extend ChimeraX's mmCIF reader to parse and display metadata on theoretical models, such as quality scores or the alignments to template structures? The folks at PDB have recently done a lot of work to standardize this metadata in the MA mmCIF dictionary: https://mmcif.wwpdb.org/dictionaries/mmcif_ma.dic/Index/ The dictionary has already been adopted by ModelArchive (e.g. AlphaFold2 models) and by ModBase (Modeller models) and I believe that other repositories such as SwissModel are also moving in that direction. See e.g. mmCIF downloads at https://www.modelarchive.org/doi/10.5452/ma-bak-cepc-0250 https://modbase.compbio.ucsf.edu/modbase-cgi/model_search.cgi?databaseID=Q12321 (My ulterior motive: we've previously built Chimera web data files to download a ModBase model and the accompanying alignment, and display them in Chimera; now that this data is embedded in the mmCIF file, in principle ChimeraX could do this itself in a less clunky and not ModBase-specific fashion.)
