Jmol commands for highlighting polarity

(Warning: this is just an approximation, not very rigorous, does not actually measure polarity of the residues or atoms; just based on residue identity)

Selecting and coloring by type of amino acid residue:

select polar; color [xFFCCFF];

select positive; color blue; // Arg, Lys, His

select basic; color blue; // Arg, Lys, His

select negative; color red; // Asp, Glu

select acidic; color red; // Asp, Glu

select not polar; color green;

select hydrophobic; color [x006666];

select aliphatic; color gray;

select aromatic; color purple;
