Hi there, I’ve tried searching the archives and found some interesting information, but nothing specific to this question. Elaine’s response was particularly helpful: http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimera-users/2009-February/003597.html
From the documentation, it seems that Chimera only displays solvent-excluded surfaces: http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/current/docs/UsersGuide/representation.html#...
I understand that I can map solvent-accessibility to this surface using “Render Attributes”, but I would like to display the actual solvent-accessible surface. I want to do this because it is my understanding that electrostatic potential mapping to a solvent-accessible surface is often more informative than to a solvent-excluded surface: http://www.poissonboltzmann.org/apbs/examples/visualization/apbs-electrostat... Can it be done?
