Hi: I would greatly appreciate advice about the following requests (between "".."") by the referees (interaction between two proteins; graphics by chimera): 1) "there is way too much wasted black space in figures". As the complex of proteins is elongated along one axis, I found it unavoidable to have wasted space around. Perhaps using a white background in the hope that white is less offending than black? Or is it a way to tailor the background according to the shape of the object? 2) "a stereoview might be helpful for better understanding". How to fulfill this request with chimera I have no idea. 3) "a molecular surface representation of the docking site would be useful". I read on passing about molecular surfaces on this forum. Is that feasible for the highly complex situation of 3D perspective with so many atoms at different "layers"? Thanks indeed for answering francesco pietra
