Hello Arun! So close... I believe you just need to show those atoms. I.e. "suppress false" means that backbone atoms are allowed to be displayed at the same time as the cartoon, but it does not in itself show them. This allows you to show only the specific backbone atoms that you want. So in addition to your example actions you could just use menu: Actions... Atoms/Bonds... Show or command: show sel or show #1:1-84@n,h I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

Hello Elaine and team,
I am working with Chemical shifts based CS-Rosetta generated NMR structural model of the protein (amino acid sequence 1-84). And, I would like to show the “backbone N-H atoms” in the NMR structural model in a ball & stick representation. The series of command which I have used are as follows
Open pdb cartoon suppress false sel #1:1-84 @n,h
And finally from ChimeraX GUI interface, I am choosing following set of options Action/Atom style/ Ball & Stick. But nothing happens. It seems I am missing something. Please suggest the way around with this problem.
Thanks!
Arun
