Color by atom
Color by atom
(white = hydrogen, green = carbon, red = oxygen, blue = nitrogen, yellow = sulfur, cyan = fluorine, magenta = chlorine or unknown atom, orange = bromine, violet = iodine).
  
Color by residue
Color by residue
  
Color by chain

Color by segment
  
Color by molecule
   Color by molecule
Color by H-Bond
It colors the H-bond acceptor (blue) and donor (magenta) atoms.   
  
Color by H-bond
Color by charge
   Color by charge
The color ramp indicates the more negative (blue) and the more positive (red).
Color by constraint 
It colors the molecule by constraint: blue fixed, green freed.
