This is far too general a question to attempt an answer. How you want to illustrate some structural details is really a matter of scientific judgement combined with artistic choices, and there are lots of possibilities. Probably go look at some papers and see which published figures that you admire and think do a good job at showing similar things. Then, you just need to learn how to use ChimeraX in general to change lighting, colors, transparency, background color, etc. We have lots of example figures with associated command scripts, as well as tutorials for learning the program.

Hi, I am a PhD student from Germany and would like to make a figure where I can highlight specific proteins of interest in the mitoribosome complex of yeast. Could you please assist me to use ChimeraX in this context.
