Hi Mike,<br>
<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>

<div>For instance in an iron compound, if I issue label ~H from
the command line the result will be FE1 where I prefer Fe1,

<div>This is true for all two letter atom names.</div>
