PyMOL can do this for you in a snap on Windows, Unix, or Mac OSX/Darwin. In contrast to SPOCK, it won't cost you a dime on any platform. PyMOL is better for surfaces than Grasp so long as you aren't trying to display electrostatic potentials (which it can't do, just yet). http://pymol.sf.net Here is a 5 line example script which does what you want... load your.pdb show surface color red, 45+56+123/ color blue, 60-70/ color green, 34+45+78/ You can also color by residue identity color yellow, his/ color green, leu+ile+trp/ etc. Cheers, Warren -----Original Message----- From: Cindy Sinars Sent: Thu 10/18/2001 3:04 PM To: Deena Oren; ccp4bb@dl.ac.uk Cc: Subject: Re: [ccp4bb]: grasp *** For details on how to be removed from this list visit the *** *** CCP4 home page http://www.ccp4.ac.uk *** Deena, We found that it was just much easier to create and colour the surface in a program called SPOCK. This can output a molscript file that you can then use with molscript to output a raster file. Alternatively, they give you the option of exporting directly to an image file. I think we paid about US$200 for our licenses for Compaq Alphas. I think the SGI licenses are more expensive.
