Hi George, With “retain true” you could have both the old and new H-bonds in the same place, but only see the old colors if the new ones are “underneath.” Instead I would say just use “hbonds” one time per frame and then re-color the desired lines with “setattr”, for example something like: hb line 5 color gold setattr p color red :64,80,76,50,21 The latter command sets the “color” attribute of pseudobonds to red, affecting only the pseudobonds between atoms of the specified residues. <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/setattr.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.

Hi, Just one other question if I could trouble you? Is it possible to have two colors of H-bond in the per-frame script. That way I could highlight bonds of particular importance (red), while the ones that maintain a steady structure are yellow. That would help draw the users eye and save wordy annotations. I tried the following to no avail. I suspect that maybe this is not possible? If you could offer any guidance, I would be much obliged. :)
