[Chimera-users] electrostatic surface coloring

[James Starlight]

Dear Elaine, Dear Eric,

thank you so much for the explanation!
Indeed I suppose I should to convert my trajectory from CG to FG model
firstly using back-mapping approach to proceed it to the APBS
analysis.

With Best Regards,

Gleb

> Since coloring surfaces by electrostatics depends upon assigning partial charges to individual atoms, I believe none of these tools will actually work for you since you have a Martini CG trajectory where each of the “atoms” actually represent several individual atoms.  I have no idea how you would attempt to color a CG-trajectory surface by electrostatics.
