To gain a better understanding on the chemical structure of the
molecule that we read, lets color this molecule by atom type.
|
To that end, click on
Color → by Atom Type, check the Checkbutton next to lines and press OK. This colors our molecule using the following palette:Hydrogens (H) - cyan Carbons (C) - gray Nitrogens (N) - blue Oxygens (O) - red Sulfurs (S) - yellow Phospors (P) - magenta All others - green You could change PMV preferences so that all new molecules are colored by atom type. This is done by usingSince hydrogens are difficult to resolve with X-ray, we are going to add them using Edit → Hydrogens → Add. This brings up the widget shown below. Click OK to add missing hydrogens. |
