If you make each chain a separate object, then you can apply a different highlight color to each obj.
Select each chain and extract it or copy it to a new obj. set cartoon_highlight_color, yellow, obj01 set cartoon_highlight_color, red, obj02 set cartoon_highlight_color, blue, obj03 etc. > On Feb 4, 2015, at 4:22 PM, Thomas Holder <thomas.hol...@schrodinger.com> > wrote: > > Hi Gregg, > > cartoon_highlight_color is currently not implemented on the atom-level, so > setting it for an atom selection has no effect. > > The next PyMOL version will print a warning if a setting is set on an > unsupported level. > > Cheers, > Thomas > > On 01 Feb 2015, at 01:20, Gregg Wells <wellsg...@yahoo.com> wrote: > >> Can cartoon_highlight_color be applied to specific regions of a protein >> structure? >> >> For example, I am viewing PDB file 2bg9 in the cartoon mode, with each chain >> in a different color.
