Summary: "set solvent" vs select

Initial Comment:
I like to be able to look at the surface of a protein in the 
vicinity of a ligand.  (Or the surface of a ligand and an 
associated protein in wireframe).  In chime/rasmol, I can 
create a surface after selecting the ligand or protein, 
and see the surface for that whole selection.

In Jmol, only the surface of a ligand where the atoms 
are distant from the protein generate surfaces.  Is there 
anyway to defeat this characteristic?

I was wrong -- one can selectively see the surface of a 
ligand/protein interaction in chime, but not rasmol. To see the 
chime version, I went to the online demo: 
http://www.umass.edu/microbio/chime/chimehow/fs_cmdln.ht
m and selected heme + protein

select protein; surface molsurface ; select not protein; 
spacefill off; wireframe

clearly shows the cavity with no surface on the ligand.
"select not protein; surface molsurface" does the converse.

In contrast, in rasmol, 
select protein
solvent on
dots on

only generates a surface on the entire molecule, not only the 
residues selected.  I believe the chime version is more useful.

Jim,

Thanks for submitting this. 

I am going to need your help in understanding the problem. I
do not have access to chime, but can use RasMol 2.6b2. 

When you say 'surface' I assume that you are referring to
the dots representation of the VDW or solvent accessible
surface. Please confirm. 

I wrote this code a long time ago and have not looked at it
recently. At the time I did not understand RasMol very well. 

Are you saying that in RasMol only calculates the surface
for the atoms that are selected? That is to say ... is the
surface calculated as though only the selected atoms were
present in the file? 

Miguel
