Paul, I'm actually quite interested in an answer to this question as well. An example of what I have been able to do is this:
http://kinemage.biochem.duke.edu/~immormino/neca_new.png I like using this type of rendering to look at a protein cavity from inside the protein. For me it has been helpful in presenting the VDWs interaction of ligands in the pocket. To render this picture: set surface_color, slate set ray_interior_color, grey set transparency, .3 set transparency_mode, 0 ray The one thing that kinda bothers me with this approach is that transparency_mode=0 is called fast and ugly in the GUI. But this is the only way that i have found to get this effect. Other ( better ) suggestions would be appreciated. -bob On 4/4/06, Paul Wilhelm Elsinghorst <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi folks, > > > what I did for now is that I selected a subset of residues that sit around > a cavity.
