Re: [PyMOL] cartoon_highlight_color for specific regions of structure?

[H. A. S. <h.a...@gm...>]

If you make each chain a separate object, then you can apply a different highlight color to each obj.

Select each chain and extract it or copy it to a new obj.

set cartoon_highlight_color, yellow, obj01
set cartoon_highlight_color, red, obj02
set cartoon_highlight_color, blue, obj03
etc.
