[Chimera-users] Selective surface colouring of aminoacids by hand

[Heinrich Lünsdorf]

To whom it may concern.

Dear colleagues,
I am a novice in working with Chimera and a practicing electron microscopist. I learned to fit X-ray model data into EM-densities.
My special question acutally is to select several surface exposed aminoacids by hand (either as a sequence ' aa #x to #y' or single aa '#5,67,577,579' etc.) as they have been epitope-mapped by antibodies and colorize them uniquely in the "MSMS main surface" mode of Chimera. How to colorize at the 'ribbon' I know already but I need this selective colorization at the 'Actions --> Surface --> Solid' level. How can I do this?

Thank you coridally for your help in advance.

Heinrich Lünsdorf
