[Chimera-users] multiple coloring

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Andy,
I am not sure I understand the question.  If you mean you just want to  
color each molecule model a different color of the rainbow in one  
step, see Rainbow (under Tools... Depiction).  The Model Panel (under  
Favorites in the menu) also has a "rainbow" button.

More generally, you would select a protein (or chain, or part of a  
chain) to color, then use Actions... Color to choose the color for  
that, then go on to the next protein or part of protein.  There are  
many, many different ways to select things:  Ctrl-click on the  
structure followed by pressing the up arrow key, or using the Select  
menu, or using the "select" operations on the right side of the Model  
Panel, etc.

These things could also be done with commands or a command script.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
