What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps scientists produce publication-quality molecular graphics figures in Coot by providing best-practice workflows for color, ribbons, and representations, reducing trial-and-error and ensuring reproducible visuals.

Use the Coot Figure-Making Best Practices skill to set up a GFP figure:

  • Define a color palette for strands, helices, and chromophores using the recommended indices (60, 61, 62).
  • Assign colors to secondary structure selections and create a ribbon representation.
  • Hide bonds for a clean silhouette, then center the view and adjust the zoom for publication-quality output.
