HPPNcolor

"HPPNcolor_v1.pml" is a PyMOL script that colors residues based on Hydrophobicity/Polarity, Positive/Negative charge, and residues (Pro, Gly) with unique main-chain dihedral angles. It colors 20 different amino acid residues as shown below.

Yellow: Val, Ile, Leu, Phe, Tyr, Trp, Met

Cyan: Asn, Gln, Ser, Thr

Blue: His, Lys, Arg

Red: Asp, Glu

Green: Gly Cartoon

Orange: Pro

White: Cartoon and Ala

Yellow-green (lime): Cys

This coloring is used to visualize the presence of exposed hydrophobic and buried hydrophilic residues, the position of Gly and Pro, and the distribution of positive and negative charged residues.

Usage

# PyMOL command line
PyMOL> run /path/to/HPPNcolor_v1.pml

# Manual 
menubar "File" ---> "Run Script..." ---> Select "HPPNcolor_v1.pml" ---> "Open"
