If the B key is pressed while graphics are being displayed, it seems the display toggles between the normal protein representation; one where atoms are displayed as solid spheres; and one where the backbone is shown as straight lines. If the S key is pressed display of the side chains is similarly toggled. Are there any other hidden features out there?

I couldn't find anything in the forums or on the site about this : a posting in the Arstechnica forums made references to this easter egg.

i didn't know that, thats cool. I did find one anomaly in the display of the atoms. sometimes the display is blank and other times the searching window and the accepted low energy window displays are 90% out of the window at the top. did you see this on your display? I am currently finishing some 5.68 stuff and will see what 5.7 does later. [edit] I just found that the C button adds something to the side chains and works the same way as the others, displaying 3 different forms of graphics. that is all I have found pressing all the buttons.

Interesting find with the C button. What I'm seeing there, with solid fill and no side chains, is that this key toggles between 4 states. One is the normal rather lurid rainbow-coloured display; the second is a more standard representation with carbons grey, oxygens red, etc.; the third is the same as the previous one except a single atom turns green (?); the fourth seems to be some hybrid of the first two.

I don't see the anomaly you mention.

that must have been with just that wu. I'll look at it in 5.7 and see what it does. for jumping the atomic setting doesn't work. just the other settings.
