I’m looking to display the ligand binding pocket with the ligand, and the tutorial you have is great. I generated this picture, which is really close to what I want. It shows the ligand, and the pocket, and I’m able to slice it with the interactive side view tool to get to this point. However, the left side of the ligand is slightly clipped. I’ve played with rotation and with moving the slice plane, but can’t find an orientation that shows the pocket so nicely (without any surface in the foreground) and not ligand clipping. My question is: is there a way to tell ChimeraX to clip the surface but not the ligand?<br class="">Thanks!<br class="">Miles<br class=""><br class=""><DAC_binding_pocket.png><br class=""><br class=""></blockquote><br class=""><br class="">_______________________________________________<br class="">ChimeraX-users mailing list<br class="">ChimeraX-users@cgl.ucsf.edu<br class="">Manage subscription:<br class="">https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/mailman/listinfo/chimerax-users<br class=""><br class=""></blockquote><br class=""></blockquote><br class=""><br class=""><br class="">________________________________<br class="">Notice: This UI Health Care e-mail (including attachments) is covered by the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. 2510-2521 and is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed, and may contain information that is privileged, confidential, and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
