I'm imaging the surface of a buried pocket within a protein. The
surface invariably has a mottled appearance, with some sections
having distinctly different coloring than others. An example is
shown here (the arrows point out regions of aberrant color):

I don't know why this is occurring, so it's hard to attack it
rationally; but I can report that I have played with a lot of
variables that seem related to surfaces, and while I can change the
size and shape of the aberrant areas, I haven't succeeded in making
them go away. Any suggestions welcome.
Best wishes for a happy and productive New Year.
Cheers,
Pat
