highlight bases 1.1 ------------------- REQUIREMENTS: VMD Version 1.8 or greater DESCRIPTION: highlight_bases emphasizes nucleic acid bases in DNA. It draws tiny squares for each base, with the squares color-coded by base type. Warning: This procedure does not work for all bases (i.e. due to atom-naming conventions) PROCEDURES: highlight_bases - pass the molecule id to it in order to draw tiny squares corresponding to each base EXAMPLE USAGE highlight_bases top (draws squares for bases of top molecule) EXAMPLE OUTPUT A lines representation of DNA, with bases highlighted using highlight_bases DOWNLOAD THE FILE: highlight_bases.tcl AUTHOR: Andrew Dalke (dalke@ks.uiuc.edu)
