Substitute red, blue, yellow, orange, etc. This selects a single contiguous peptide in multi-part protein complexes. color_by_chain select :chainLetter color someColor - Change the color of a subunit/ chain.String together multiple commands by using a semicolon. Replace someNumber with a value of at least 50 (50 RasMol units = 0.2 Å). wireframe someNumber - Displays all atoms/bonds as sticks.Replace chainLetter with the appropriate chain letter (e.g., display 53-95:B) Replace the #'s with the range of amino acid residues. display #-#:chainLetter - Allows you to display only a sub-section of the structure while hiding the rest of it.
Replace someNumber with a value from 1 - 100. spacefill someNumber% - Displays all atoms as spheres.Useful if you still have the backbone displayed, or if ligands are buried inside the structure. color isosurface translucent - allows you to see through the surface into the molecule.Replace someColor with the name of a color. color isosurface someColor - Changes the color of the surface.isosurface solvent or isosurface molecular - creates a continuous "sheet" over the structure.Hydrogen = white, Carbon = black, Nitrogen = blue, Oxygen = red, etc. color CPK - Sets the color of the selected region to follow the CPK convention.
or a 6-digit code for "someColor." See this page for colors and codes: colors
select residueNumber-residueNumber - Selects a series of amino acids within a protein.You can figure out chain letters by mousing over the chain of interest (You'll see something like ": A.CA #523". Substitute a letter (a, b, c, etc.) for "chainLetter". select :chainLetter - Selects a single contiguous peptide in multi-part protein complexes.select protein or select amino - Selects all proteins in the structure.3.2 Display: Only Portions of the Structureīefore executing any display commands, you must select what part of the structure you want to change.
