Re: [PyMOL] Displaying sticks on RNA bases only

[Thomas Holder]

Hi Maria,

The following shows filled rings and sticks for the nucleosides:

set cartoon_ring_finder, 1
set cartoon_ring_mode, 3
as cartoon

To not show filled rings for the nucleobases, you can hide cartoon for the 
sidechain selection, and show sticks instead (the sidechain selection keyword 
was introduced in PyMOL 1.7.0):

hide cartoon, sidechain
show sticks, sidechain extend 1

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
  Thomas

[PyMOL] Displaying sticks on RNA bases only

[COSTA Maria]

Hello,

I am using Pymol to visualize nucleic acid structures ( I'm a new user) and I 
would like to be able to display the functional groups of bases A, G, T/U, C 
with sticks while using the cartoon mode : cartoon_ring_finder, 1 or 2 for the 
ribose_phosphate backbone of the molecule. Can you please tell me how to 
achieve that ?
For the moment the only thing I found was to display the 'cartoon' and the 
'stick' modes at the same time to get the sticks corresponding to the 
functional groups of the bases but then I also visualize all the sticks of the 
riboses and phosphates which makes my drawings 'overloaded'. I hope I was clear 
enough.

Many thanks in advance for your answers,

Maria
