Once a structure has been loaded into ICM the individual components of that structure (i.e. amino acids, metal ions, binding sites etc) are listed in the ICM workspace.

To display every component of the object except for binding sites and water atoms:

• Click on the white box next to the word object at the top of the ICM workspace. This box will be colored blue once the structure is displayed

To display the whole structure in wire, ribbon, cpk, skin, surface and xstick representations:

• Right click on the blue box next to the word object. A menu will be displayed.

• Select which representation you desire for your structure by clicking on the appropriate word. A check mark indicates the representation currently displayed. To un-display a particular representation click on the word again.

In order to clear your graphical display:

• Select View/Undisplay All

If you only wish to display part of the structure then click in the boxes further down the tree in the ICM workspace.

To display the selected regions of the structure in wire, ribbon, cpk, skin, surface and xstick representations:

• Right click on the appropriate box in the ICM workspace. A menu will be displayed.
• Select which representation you desire for your structure by clicking on the appropriate word. A check mark indicates the representation currently displayed. To un-display a particular representation click on the word again.
