Hi Mireya, There are several ways to control chain display individually. Here are some simple ways: In the menu you can use Select... Chain to select some chain, then choose something in the Actions menu to act on it, for example Actions... Ribbon... hide, Actions... Atoms/Bonds hide. In the command line (show with menu: Favorites... Command Line), there is a syntax to specify model, chain, residue, atom, ... For example, commands: ~ribbon :.e (hides ribbon for chain E) ~display ~:.e (hides atoms for all chains that are NOT chain E) You might want to take a look at some of the tutorials for learning Chimera, like Getting Started: <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/Outreach/Tutorials/GettingStarted.html> .... and more, see Chimera menu: Help... Tutorials. I hope this helps, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.

To whom it should concern I am using your chimera on a specific protein that has/display 8 chains (A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H) with the same sequence. I would like to know how to hide the chains so I can work with one chain at a time in order to see where exactly my compound is binding so I can get the amino acid domain. Any help with this matter will be greatly appreciated.
