I am a developer of consurf (<a href="http://consurf.tau.ac.il/">http://consurf.tau.ac.il/</a>) for displaying evolutionary conservation of amino/nucleic acid positions in a protein/DNA.</div>

Till now we have been working with PDB files and inserting the coloring values in the b-factor (temperature) field in the ATOM part.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
In the chimera script we use the color commands:</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline !important">color CONS1 @/bfactor=1</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<div>color CONS2 @/bfactor=2<br>
</div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline !important">color CONS3 @/bfactor=3</span><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline !important">...</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
Now we wish to start using mmCIF files. Where should we insert the coloring values in the mmCIF file, and how do we reference then with the chimera commands ?</div>
