Dear Ramakrishna, It sounds like you want to use "Render by Attribute" to show values with color. Some attributes are created automatically by Chimera (for example, atom B-factor or residue hydrophobicity), but you can also create your own attributes and use this same tool for coloring. It shows the values in a histogram, and you can adjust the coloring by moving vertical bars on the histogram and changing their colors. You can also show values with ball radii and "worm" fatness. "Render by Attribute" man page: http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/render/ render.html "rangecolor" command (also does coloring by attribute value): http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/rangecolor.html "Define Attribute" man page (how to create your own attributes): http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/defineattrib/ defineattrib.html Basically it reads in a simple text file with your assignments; the format is described and example files are included. The "Attributes" tutorial includes examples of using Render by Attribute and other related tools: http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/tutorials/ attributes.html I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Dear Friends,
I need to Paint a protein structure according to generalized parameter values.
Is there any way to do that in UCSF-Chimera.
Kindly suggest me.
