Visualising AutoLigand affinity points

Hi, I'm attaching a jpg image of ligand affinity map fill points generated by AutoLigand. My question is whether there's a way to depict these fill points as "disconnected" spheres. Actions/spheres generates something like I'd like to see but the size of the spheres is too large. Regards George

Hi George, A picture alone isn't that useful. Would need the actual file to be sure, but you might try using command "~bond" to remove all bonds, and then showing as "ball" (actually ball & stick but without bonds there will just be balls). Or if those are not the right size either: when showing either balls or spheres, you can adjust size to any value using the "vdwdefine" command. <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/vdwdefine.html> Best, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hi Elaine, The command ~bond does the trick. I get what I want. Many thanks as always George On Feb 9, 2012, at 6:23 PM, Elaine Meng wrote:
