Ball and Stick
The ball and stick representation is very often used to display macromolecules. PyMOL allows the user the ability to turn on this representation for certain selections, or roll their own hand-made versions of the command (see below).
Example of Bal and Stick Repr.
Usage
Builtin
GUI
From the PyMOL representation menu choose, "Ball and Stick".
Command Line/API
# turn on the representation for everything in PyMOL
preset.ball_and_stick('all')
Hand Made
Balls with sticks really look nice. You can even create your own style of this, with control over sphere_scale and stick_radius.
hide lines
show sticks
show spheres
set stick_radius=0.1
set sphere_scale=0.25
Also OK:
show sticks
set valence, on
set stick_ball, on
set stick_ball_ratio, 3
set stick_radius, 0.12
You can adjust the two numbers above to your taste.
