Hello,
I am using chimeraX to visualize a ligand. I am familiar with the commands to increase protein thickness ('cartoon style protein thickness') but how can I do this for a ligand or other molecule?
Really appreciate the help,
-Cameron Larson
Hello Cameron, If you mean you are showing atoms (which could also be protein, etc.) you can increase stick thickness, ball size, or sphere size with the "size" command. https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/size.html
You can change atom style (stick, ball, sphere) with the "style" command or the Molecule Display icons in the toolbar across the top. https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/style.html https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/tools/moldisplay.html
To show/hide atoms you can use the Molecule Display icons, or presets (menu or commands), or the "show" and "hide" commands. https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/tools/moldisplay.html https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/menu.html#presets https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/show.html
I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Resource for Biocomputing, Visualization, and Informatics Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

Try "setattr {atomspec} bonds radius {value in Angstroms}".
