Hello to all,

I just joined this list, because I currently try to convert a website 
from using the old MDL Chime to jmol.
(jmol 11.2.14).

The molecules are represented by a bunch of PDB files, where the columns 
61-66 usually holding the temperature factor have been filled instead 
with partial charges of the atoms which where computed with MOPAC.

This arrangement made it possible in Chime to generate an isosurface 
with a coloring scheme according to the partial charges.

If I laod the same pdb files in jmol, the menu option

Surfaces -> Molecular Electrostatic Potential

is not accessible, and a script using the command

color atoms temperature

gives an image of red an blue atom colorings bearing no relation to the 
"temperature factors" (which are actually partial charges). Even if I 
change some of the these values in the pdb file by hand, this has no 
effect on the given coloration of the manipulated atoms.

Maybe Jmol does not support this trick to visualize molecular 
electrostatic potentials from pdb files?

So if I have to convert the pdb files to some other format, what would 
it be?
(I still need the pdb columns for the "residue name" to be conserved in 
that other format, because some other coloration scheme depends on that.)
