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 On Sun, Feb 5, 2012 at 9:53 AM, Sulakshana Mukherjee <sulakshanamukher...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi All, > > I am working on a protein complex and would like to display the helices from > the different components of the complex with different color as well as > highlight colors. > Choosing different color for different helices in the same protein was > simple but I am unable to highlight (color the interrior of the helix with > different color) these helices with different colors.
