Hi everyone, I want to color C-alpha atoms of a selection in a specified colour (red) and and the cartoon representation in a separate color(grey). When i try colouring the calpha's in red, the same color leaks onto to the cartoon representation also, making it look grey with patches of red.
Haven't been able to figure out why. I want to see just the spheres as red and the rest of the cartoon as a continuous grey color. These are the commands that I am using in PyMOL. PyMOL>load 4EHC.pdb PyMOL>hide lines PyMOL>show cartoon PyMOL>color grey Executive: Colored 2304 atoms. PyMOL>select x, name CA and resi 194+236+251 Selector: selection "x" defined with 3 atoms. PyMOL>color red, x Executive: Colored 3 atoms. PyMOL>show spheres, x Please tell me what setting should I change to get over this problem.
