    Hi Mike,<br>
    <br>
      I see your test file contains Cu1 and Chimera shows that in a
    label as CU1 with all upper case.  That surprises me.  Our expert on
    that Eric Pettersen can explain it next week.  You may be right that
    Chimera knows the atomic elements and could selectively capitalize
    labels according to your preferences when the atom name matches the
    element symbol.  Again it is something Eric can advise on.<br>

      <div>I was hoping that since Chimera understood atom names well

            <br>
              Does the FE1 name come from a PDB or Mol2 file you
            opened?  If that name appears in the file, one obvious
            approach is to change the file replacing FE1 with Fe1.  I'm
            not sure if that will break code that expects FE1.  I don't
            think there are any options in Chimera to manipulate the
            case of names displayed in labels.  I believe Chimera just
            uses the capitalization of names it obtains from the file it
            read in.<br>
            <br>
              I guess Chimera could have some option to manipulate the
            case of atom names in labels.  But it seems very
            specialized.  Someone looking at a protein with a C-alpha
            atom named CA generally does not want Ca.  This also
            indicates that it isn't possible to know if an atom name
            refers to an atomic element (e.g. Fe = iron, Ca = calcium)
            or something else (like C-alpha).<br>
