[Chimera-users] Chimeras limited capability to visualize correctly molecular structure

[R.J. Swett]

Marek,
I had no problem opening the mol2 file, and displaying the atoms. I 
simply hid the ribbon structure,
displayed the atoms, and saved an image. There are some excellent 
tutorials on the chimera
website on visualization of structures which I'm sure will help you in 
the future. Chimera makes
more guesses on initial display than VMD or VegaZZ, and for protein 
structures this is very convenient.
  I have attached an image generated with Chimera which you will see is 
nearly identical to yours.
