[PyMOL] Electrostatic potential surface?

[Eric C. P. <ec...@ua...>]

First of all, I am quite impressed with this program, free or not.  I also
saw Dr. Wells speak at the Keystone conference in Breckenridge in January
where he presented some graphics using Rigimol.  Very nice.

I am putting some figures together for an upcoming manuscript and am trying
to figure out a few details.  Some of the things I want to do may be
possible, some not.  Here are the questions I have:

1. How do you display electrostatic potential on surface displays?

2. Can the colors of individual side chains be changed without affecting the
surface?

3. I have tried to assign SS manually, but the cartoon skips at certain
sections (ie alpha helices).  What can I do to fix this?

Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.
