[PyMOL] suface display protein-protein interactions...residues getting bleached.

[Yarrow M. <ama...@uc...>]

Hello Pymol users

I went to a recent Crystallography workshop and noticed everyone had great
pictures of their protein-protein binding interface.  One molecule had a
surface representation while another did not.  The interacting residues
were very clear.  I have tried to repeat this by making a surface
representation of one molecule and hiding the cartoon. Then I copy the
molecule and show only the residues.  This allows me to use different
colors for surface and residues but when I use transparency for the
surface my residues in the second molecule start to get bleached out.  Can
anyone help me with this.  Thanks!
