Chimera images for SOP website (Jun 2013)
[second set, Oct 2013]
[third set, May 2014]
[fourth set, Jun 2014]
Below are a few different images of each structure (shown at 1/3 size;
use browser “save link as” to get files of images 1200px wide).
These represent only a small sample of the possible variations
in color and style, and even if none are quite what you need,
they may help narrow your specifications.
Notes:
- The structure you suggested for HIV1 protease
(PDB 2HVP)
does not have all atoms, only a backbone trace, so I used
PDB 3PHV instead. Otherwise, I stuck with the suggested
PDB entries.
- Without information on specific aspects of a protein you might want
to highlight, I've just shown overall structures and in some cases,
active site residues.
- In general, variations in color scheme, style, position, and background
(including transparent background)
would be simple to make, because I've saved the setup files for all of these.
- One thing that can't be done in Chimera is to draw curving dashed lines
to represent missing parts (I see the caspases have lots of these);
it only shows a straight line joining the “stumps.”

HIV-1 Protease
(PDB 3PHV)
Human Cytochrome P450 2C9
(PDB 1OG5, complex with warfarin)
- orientations are the same as for procaspase-3
(I superimposed the structures beforehand);
the left column is all one orientation, the right column another
- surfaces may be slightly misleading because parts of the structure
are missing, as indicated by the dashed lines in the first lefthand image

below same as above except “flat” transparency |

- orientations are the same as for caspase-7
(I superimposed the structures beforehand);
the left column is all one orientation, the right column another
- surfaces may be slightly misleading because parts of the structure
are missing, as indicated by the dashed lines in the first lefthand image
