The display option offers many different ways to select components of a protein.

Set residue color
|
Explanation
|
|
Select solid color
|
Changes the color of the sequence to the desired color chosen from a color palette
|
|
By residue type
|
A rather arbitrary color scheme with a wide color assignment range for all residues.
|
|
By hydrophobicity
|
Color changes from red to blue, which corresponds to the change from hydrophobic to hydrophylic side chains.
|
|
By position conservation
|
When this option is selected, sequence conservation in the displayed alignment is evaluated and coloring is applied, so
that the warmer colors correspond to more conserved positions. When a representative structure is loaded, this option
can provide a quick way to find conserved structural features.
|
|
By chain
|
When a structure is composed of several chains, each of them can be marked with different residue colors. The specific colors
can be user-defined in Preferences dialog. When a large structure is displayed, this type of coloring can provide a good way
show the domains present in the structure.
