Hello Elaine, Thank you for your response. It's been very useful. Yes, I am looking for something similar to MolSurfer's output: 2D projections of interface surfaces. The only problem I see with MolSurfer is that I have not been able to find a way to download the images of the 2D projections yet. Do you think those type of 2D projections could be done with Chimera? I am thinking, for instance, in generating the 2D projections from the vertex coordinates of the surface generated with Chimera intersurf command. Does it seem a good idea? Thank you very much, Miguel On 26/2/20 18:39, Elaine Meng wrote:
Hi Miguel, I can’t think of a way to generate a 2D representation from the intersurf surface. It is unclear to me exactly what you mean, however. What are the contours showing? If the 3D shape, why not just show as 3D?
You may want to take a look at another program, MolSurfer, which generates 2D representations of hydrophobicity and electrostatic potential at an interface. I never used it myself, but that is what the paper about this program (link below) shows.
