Hello everyone again. I apologize for a potentially embarassing question but is it possible to display sidechains as transparent spheres with solid stick representation inside. Seeing as I also can't find an image in the Chimera gallery where it is represented as such, I am wondering if it is possible to individually color (and set opacity) on spheres. I am also aware that vdw will create dots of varying density, but is it alternatively possible to display vdw as solid surface with opacity. Thanks to all for your patience.
