Hi Sulakshana,

You need to create two copies of the protein and then use cartoon
skip. It'll look like this:

# fetch an example protein

fetch 1cll, async=0

# make the copy

create a_copy, 1cll

# show them as cartoons

color blue, 1cll

# set the interior highlight color

set cartoon_highlight_color, green, 1cll

# color the copy

color marine, a_copy

# set the interior highlight color on the copy

set cartoon_highlight_color, magenta, a_copy

# select the region of interest

select to_hide, i. 0-79

# show everything as cartoon

show_as cartoon

# set the skip regions
# make them overlap a little

cartoon skip, to_hide and 1cll

cartoon skip, i. 81-200 and a_copy

orient

ray


Cheers,

-- Jason
