Dear Chimera-X users !
I am using ChimeraX to color pdb file according to its structural
flexibility determined in the b-factor column
color byattribute bfactor palette rainbow range 2,100
This info is taken directly from the rmsf calculations of short MD
trajectory and stored in a single pdb structure in the b-factor
column.
Technically It works very well, however in the case of flexible
systems, the most of the structures is colored in "red". I enclose a
screenshot of an example image along with the corresponded rmsf chart.
Would it be possible to define the gradient of the coloring in more
accurate fashion in order that the red zones could have more shades ?
I believe this could be fine-tuned via the "range 2, 100 " attribute
and / or switching to other palettes e.g. 'Paired-12' , which
naturally has more shades compared to 'rainbow' ..
I would be grateful for any further suggestions !
Yours with thanks,
Enrico
