Hi Maria, The following shows filled rings and sticks for the nucleosides: set cartoon_ring_finder, 1 set cartoon_ring_mode, 3 as cartoon To not show filled rings for the nucleobases, you can hide cartoon for the sidechain selection, and show sticks instead (the sidechain selection keyword was introduced in PyMOL 1.7.0): hide cartoon, sidechain show sticks, sidechain extend 1 See also: http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Overview_of_nucleic_acid_cartoons Hope that helps.

Can you please tell me how to achieve that ? > For the moment the only thing I found was to display the 'cartoon' and the 'stick' modes at the same time to get the sticks corresponding to the functional groups of the bases but then I also visualize all the sticks of the riboses and phosphates which makes my drawings 'overloaded'. I hope I was clear enough. > > Many thanks in advance for your answers, > > Maria > > CNRS > France -- Thomas Holder PyMOL Principal Developer Schrödinger, Inc. |
