Color by Chemical Shift Perturbations

Hi admin, I am trying to color the protein surface based on the chemical shift perturbations. As mentioned in the example published on March 15th, 2021, I was able to color the surface. However, I needed to add 6 levels, and I failed to do so. It was possible to define the levels and colors in chimera but I failed to do so in chimerax. Is there a way to solve this? Thank you Nadun Nadun Karunatilleke Ph.D. Candidate Dr. James Choy's Lab Department of Biochemistry Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry Western University London, Ontario, Canada N6A 5C1

Hi Nadun, Sure, you can put as many value,color pairs in the command as you want. The example you may be referring to just gives two pairs: <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/data/nanobody-feb2021/chemshift.html> ...with command: color byattribute csp palette 0,lightgray:0.1,green noValueColor skyblue However, you could just specify more value,color pairs in the palette, for example: color byattribute csp palette 0,skyblue:0.025,green:0.05,yellow:0.075,orange:0.1,red noValueColor gray This is explained in the command help: <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/color.html#byattribute> ...specifically the palette options: <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/color.html#palette-options> You can see lots of color names here, or use command "color list" to show them in the Log. <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/colornames.html#builtin> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.
