Hi,

I've seen this (Example 1 on 3DNA <http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/3DNA>) and I noticed to colour each nucleic acid differently they used something like:

set  cartoon_color,  green,  resn G

for each of the four different nucleic acids. When I ran this for 2XCT bio assembly 1 it coloured amino acids with the same single letter codes as the four nucleic acids (e.g., G for guanine [nucleic acid] and glycine [amino]) and I wanted to know how to run it just for nucleic acids. I thought that something like this for each chain containing nucleic acids:

set  cartoon_color,  green,  /2XCT//Eand  resn G

would do the trick but that would take forever seeing how 8 separate chains contain nucleic acids. While we're on this topic I'd also like to know how to colour the backbone and sugars via a more efficient method than doing something like this:

color  pink, /2XCT//Eand  bb.

for each chain containing nucleic acids.

Thanks for your time,
Brenton
