Hi Anjana, After showing a surface, you can either (A) open an electrostatic potential (ESP) map previously calculated with some other program (DelPhi, Grasp, UHBD, APBS) in Chimera and then use it to color the surface with "Electrostatic Surface Coloring" (in menu under Tools... Surface/Binding Analysis) or command "scolor" <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/filetypes.html#esp> <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/surfcolor/surfcolor.html> <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/scolor.html> or (B) use the "Coulombic Surface Coloring" tool (in same menu as above) or command "coulombic" to calculate Coulombic ESP and color the surface based on those values <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/coulombic/coulombic.html> <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/coulombic.html> ... for example, as in this tutorial: <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/tutorials/surfprop.html> Best, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.

thanks so much for your prompt response! well actually, i was wondering if there was a way to show the electrostatic surface in chimera?
thanks so much Elaine! let me just say that Chimera user support is waayy better than any other popular graphics program ive come across! youve got a chimera fan here now. :) On Fri, Jan 6, 2012 at 1:53 AM, Elaine Meng <meng@cgl.ucsf.edu> wrote:
