<p class="MsoNormal">Hello there – <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I recently got a new office machine and had to reload Chimera. Although I do not recall the number of the version I had used in the past, empirically I can tell that this is some updated version. My problem is that I am trying to display
various residues of a protein selectively as space-filling (“sphere”) on a ribbon frame. One residue of interest is a glycine. This version of Chimera seems incapable (or I am incapable of discovering how!) of displaying the various atoms belonging to this
glycine residue. All other residues seem fine. Is this a glitch? Am I doing something wrong? For comparison, I have every confidence that this
<i>should</i> work because with my older version of the program I was able to generate just such a view.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
Thank you very much in advance for the help,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Mark<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">P.S. By selecting the glycine of interest I am able to color the strip of ribbon by preset color, but not by element.<o:p></o:p></p>
