[Chimera-users] Help needed

[Elaine Meng]

Hello Nirban,
By default, showing ribbon prevents showing backbone atoms.

To allow showing backbone atoms at the same time as the ribbon, just use command "ribbackbone".  
<https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/ribbackbone.html>

You can still show/hide the atoms as you wish (display and ~display), so you can display only the backbone atoms you want and hide the others.

I hope this helps,
Elaine

There some residues 251, 245, 243 formed H bonds with the ligand through the O atom. I am not able to display the residue clearly. O atom is looking like a dot. I want to show the residue clearly making bonds with the ligand without hiding the ribbon like the residue 247. Those residues are clearly visible only if I hide ribbons for that residue. Kindly  help me to show the residue properly without hiding their ribbon.
