<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=170210619-10052011>Hello, this is Ming
Zhou at NCI-Frederick, Maryland. I am trying to use Chimera to make some ribbon
structure figures. I am wondering how I can display only side
chain (without backbone) for a specific residue. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=170210619-10052011>Usually, if I
display the residue, select the residue at the Atom specifier and color it. The
color would be partially on the ribbon structure too since the backbone of that
residue is on the ribbon. How do I avoid coloring backbone, only color the side
chain?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
