Four different ways of visualizing molecules by showing all atoms are provided: Wireframe, Stick, Ball and stick, Space-filling/CPK.
The visualizations are mutually exclusive meaning that only one style can be applied at a time for each selected group of atoms.
Four 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 Different Objects Each molecule is assigned its own random color.
- Custom Color The user selects molecule colors from a palette.
