COLOUR RESIDUE and SYMM-OP

These display commands are located in the 3D display for each hit.

They allow you to colour the 3D crystal diagram with respect to residues or symmetry- related molecules.

RESIDUE

Ex.

• Select RESIDUE

• If the 3D crystal diagram contains more than one residue then each residue is displayed in a different colour.

  For Tektronix 4100 series terminals the maximum number of colours is 7; crystal residues 7,8,etc. are all coloured yellow.

  For Tektronix 4200 series and Silicon Graphics terminals the maximum number of colours is 15; crystal residues 15, 16, etc. are all coloured grey.

Ex.

• Select SYMM-OP

• If the contents of the unit cell have been displayed using the command PACK in the RENDER group then each of the symmetry-related molecules (residues) is displayed in a different colour.

  Note that two molecules related only by a translation along a cell axis have the same colour.

  If the unit cell contains only one residue then it is coloured white.

  For Tektronix 4100 series terminals the maximum number of colours is 7;

  crystal residues 7,8,etc. are all coloured yellow.

  For Tektronix 4200 series and Silicon Graphics terminals the maximum number of colours is 15; crystal residues 15, 16, etc. are all coloured grey.
