Qun, PyMOL doesn't (yet) have the ability to calculate Possion Boltzmann electrostatic potentiallys. You'll need to use an external tool like GRASP or APBS to perform that task.
If "spectrum b" doesn't produce the desired result, then there is probably some strange B-value present on at least one of the atoms. Try setting the range manually: spectrum b, minimum=10, maximum=100 or spectrum b, blue_red, minimum=10, maximum=100 Cheers, Warren -- mailto:war...@delsci.com Warren L.
