Four different ways of visualizing molecules by showing all atoms are provided: Wireframe, Stick, Ball and stick, and Space-filling/CPK.
The visualizations are mutually exclusive meaning that only one style can be applied at a time for each selected molecule or atom group.
Five color schemes are available and can be accessed via right-clicking on the visualization style icons:
- Color by Element Classic CPK coloring based on atom type (e.g. oxygen red, carbon gray, hydrogen white, nitrogen blue, sulfur yellow).
- Color by Temperature This is based on the b-factors in the PDB file and a color scale going from blue (0) over white (50) to red (100). The b-factors are a measure of uncertainty or disorder in the atom position; the higher the number, the higher the disorder.
- Color Carbons by Entry Each entry (molecule or atom group) is assigned its own specific color. Only carbon atoms are colored by the specific color, other atoms are colored by element.
- Color by Entry Each entry (molecule or atom group) is assigned its own specific color.
- Custom Color The user selects a molecule color from a palette.
