===Overall Features===
Combinations of representations and color schemes are useful to highlight
Combinations of representations and color schemes are useful to highlight
* [[Protein primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structure|Secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure]]
* [[Protein primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structure|Secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure]]

The above features can be most easily displayed in the ''Views'' tab of [[FirstGlance in Jmol]]. Evolutionary conservation can sometimes be seen with [[How to see conserved regions|one click in Proteopedia]], or in other cases requires [[ConSurf Quick Analysis Procedure|submitting a job to the ConSurf server]]. For a specific protein, such features can be displayed by using Proteopedia's [[Scene Authoring Tools]] and then attached to green links when authoring a page.

===Covalent and Non-Covalent Bonds===
[[FirstGlance in Jmol]] provides "one-click" routines, in its ''Tools'' tab, to highlight
*Disulfide bonds
*[[Salt bridges]]
*[[Cation-pi interactions]]
*Non-covalent interactions with any substructure that you select, using ''Contacts & Non-Covalent Interactions'' in the ''Tools'' tab.
