Re: [PyMOL] Show residues and sticks

[Andreas F. <an...@bi...>]

Ooops.  Christopher Colbert pointed out that Andrea's (not Andreas') way 
of showing sidechains is incorrect.  I copied this into my email (but 
not my script).

The long way to show a side chain is:
show sticks, resi 34 and not (name c,o,n and not pro/n)

[  and not:                                    ]
[  show sticks, resi 34 and not (name c,n,ca)  ]


Chris also pointed out that this feature exists somewhere in the pymol 
GUI ("For whatever selection, under the show menu, at the
bottom there is sidechain -> lines, sticks, spheres").  Thanks.
