All,</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=862561803-25022010><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am working with a
glycoprotein structure and I want to visualize the protein surface as a
continuum with the glycans sticking out as sticks. If I visualize the surface of
the whole molecule (including sugars), and then I select the sugars only and
visualize them as sticks, the surface of the amino acids immediately connected
to the sugar (Asn) appear to be clipped. One solution could be to the
following:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=862561803-25022010><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. save the model
with a different name</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=862561803-25022010><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. load the 2
identical structures and align them</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=862561803-25022010><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. remove the sugars
from one structure only and use it to visualize the protein</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=862561803-25022010><FONT face=Arial size=2>4. the second
structure is used for visualizing the sugars and not the
protein.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=862561803-25022010><FONT face=Arial size=2>I used to do
something similar with Pymol, and it should work with Chimera as well, but I am
sure there is a better/simpler solution.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=862561803-25022010><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any
suggestion?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=862561803-25022010><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you for your
help.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
