[chimerax-users] Coloring Atoms by Hydrohpobicity and Electrostatic potential

[Tom Goddard]

You can color a cryoEM map surface #2 directly using

	coulombic #1 surface #2

and also mlp should work

	mlp #1 surface #2

but the mlp command has a bug that prevents that from working -- I will fix it next week.

I also looked up coloring by attribute - but the hydrophobicity/ electrostatic doesn't seem to be a part of it.

In this particular case, I am trying to color the 'whole' pdb model and the cryo-EM map by hydrophobicity EMD-0667 <https://www.emdataresource.org/EMD-0667>.
