Scott, I think that Ann wants a sphere radius larger than 1.4, since she is looking for a less detailed surface... reducing the probe radius will increase the amount of detail, or roughness (tending towards the vdw surface, for radius=0.0) Cheers, Paulo > set solvent_radius, 1.2 in the text window. > > Good Luck > Scott > > On Dec 16, 2003, at 3:05 PM, Ann Mullin wrote: > > > Hello, > > > > I have been using PyMol for a few months now, and I am wondering if I > > can adjust the radius about which the surface is calculated.
