Hi all --

I have put together a Chimera attribute definitions to color residues according to the TM tendency hydrophobicity scale:

Zhao and London, Protein Sci 15:8 (2006), doi: 10.1110/ps.062286306
An amino acid "transmembrane tendency" scale that approaches the
theoretical limit to accuracy for prediction of transmembrane helices:
relationship to biological hydrophobicity

In case it's helpful to others, it's attached to this message. Perhaps the Chimera team would also be interested in including it with the other scales online as well.

Thanks,

Shyam
