[PyMOL] RE: EMizing an xray structure (Warren DeLano)

[Sarina B. <sa...@di...>]

Warren,
These commands (see below) go a long way toward solving the problem  
of producing low resolution simple structures for my textbook  
project. I have some questions:

The first command elicits an error:
PyMOL>alter all,b=3D10
Alter-Error: Aborting on error. Assignment may be incomplete.
   File "<string>", line 1
     b=3D10
         ^
SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing
Alter-Error: Aborting on error. Assignment may be incomplete.
Alter: modified 0 atoms.

The rest work fine.  For a multimeric protein, how do I get different  
surface colors on different chains?  I tried selecting the chains and  
coloring them differently before running the commands below, but the  
dsurf object was just one color.  Can I make each chain a different  
object and add ", objectname" to each of these commands?

Thanks!
Sarina
