Main Window — Style Toolbar

This toolbar allows you to create and apply visual styles for the Workspace contents. These styles consist of combinations of molecular representation, color scheme, display or undisplay of classes of atoms, display of H-bonds and contacts, and generation and display of surfaces. The style settings made with this toolbar are designed to add only those components specified, and leave any other style choices as they are. All style settings are stored as preferences, so that they persist across Maestro sessions.

Apply
Menu equivalent: Workspace → Style → Apply Style.    Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Y (⌘Y)
Set and apply a defined style. Clicking this button applies the defined style. This button has a menu with the following options:
  • Settings—Set up the Workspace style. Opens the Workspace Style Settings dialog box.

  • Ligand Detection Settings—Make settings that define the ligand. Opens the Ligand Detection Settings dialog box, to make settings for the automatic detection of the ligand. Identifying the ligand is necessary for application of the Workspace style and display of contacts, H-bonds, and surfaces.

Reapply
Menu equivalent: Workspace → Style → Reapply Style.
When the Workspace content changes, reapply the Workspace style, according to the options set in the Workspace Style Settings dialog box. This button is turned off when a project is closed, subject to a preference.
Surfaces
Menu equivalent: Workspace → Style → Create Binding Site Surfaces, Workspace → Surface → Create Binding Site Surfaces.
Create molecular surfaces for the binding site by clicking this button, or from the option menu, show or hide all surfaces (Show All and Hide All), or open the Manage Surfaces panel so that you have more control over which surfaces are displayed and how they are displayed.
Fix
Fix the receptor entry in the Workspace.
Rendering
Select an option for the rendering, for highest quality (Quality), best performance when transforming (Performance), or a balance between the two (Balance). The performance option includes using a simplified representation for atoms, bonds, and ribbons where necessary.
Material
Select an option for the surface appearance of the objects in the Workspace: the "material" from which the objects appear to be made. See the Appearance panel topic for more information.
