Hi Brenton, Jared,
For RNA, the residue names are A, C, G, and U (not R*). However it's also
possible to specify the nucleic acid, using:
set cartoon_color, green, resn G and byres name C1'
This way, you filter the selection on an atom of the ribose, that is in all
nucleic acids, and in no
Hi Brenton -
To avoid coloring e.g. Glycine when you only want to color e.g. guanine, prefix
the residue name with “D” (as the residues are shown in the Sequence viewer)
for DNA. I believe RNA works the same way with “R” as well.
set cartoon_color, green, resn DG
To color the DNA backbone,
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
