Hi there, There are many ways to do this. You can also try Action>preset>ligands. This will show the ligands (hetatms) and their interactions. Unfortunately this doesn't highlight metal ions everytime (unless it interacts with the ligands). You can usually view this using the sequence option. [show the sequence - S button bottom right, move the slider to the end of the protein (usually) and select the metal(s) show spheres of selection]
Hope this helps J _________________________________ Joel Tyndall, PhD Senior Lecturer in Medicinal Chemistry National School of Pharmacy University of Otago PO Box 56 Dunedin 9054 New Zealand http://www.researcherid.com/rid/C-2803-2008 Pukeka Matua Te Kura Taiwhanga Putaiao Te Whare Wananga o Otago Pouaka Poutapeta 56 Otepoti 9054 Aotearoa Ph / Waea +64 3 4797293 Fax / Waeawhakaahua +64 3 4797034 ________________________________ From: Jhon Thomas [mailto:jhon1.tho...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, 26 March 2009 5:30 a.m. To: pymol-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [PyMOL] depiction of ligands Hi all I would like to know, how we can show the ligands in pymol. Although i can see the non-bonded atoms ( HOH) automatically, eacept other nonbonded atoms l;ike sulphate and metal ions. I will appreciate the suggestions. Thanks in advance Thomas
