Hi JD, It might even be possible to get what you want by just undisplaying all the backbone atoms you don't want to see (without opening an additional copy). They all appeared when you used "ribbackbone" because the atoms were technically in the displayed state, just suppressed by the ribbon. By default (before using ribbackbone), showing ribbon automatically hides the backbone atoms even though they are still technically displayed. Ribbackbone allows you the option to see both at the same time. However, you can still specifically undisplay them with the command "~display" or by selecting them and using "Actions... Atoms/ Bonds... hide" I know this is confusing, sorry! E ----- Elaine C.

Dear all,
I have a problem with the ribbackbone option. I have a model with the ribbon displayed for all the prot and the atoms of the residues on the binding site displayed in stick. I want backbone and ribbon representation for one residue only, let say my residue 93.
When typing:
ribbackbone :93
This displays all the backbone atoms for all the residues of the binding site.
What did I missed on the ribbackbone command?
Cheers, JD
