&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
set '''cartoon_side_chain_helper''' is an easy way, in cartoon mode, to only show the side chain of a residue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For residues represented in [[cartoon]] (but not [[ribbon]]) form, if you show the residue also in [[Sticks|stick]] or wireframe '''cartoon_side_chain_helper''' hides backbone atoms. Showing the sidechain in this method distorts the cartoon shape so it joins with the sidechain, effectively over-riding any [[cartoon_flat_cycles]] setting for that residue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Syntax ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;source lang=&amp;quot;python&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
set cartoon_side_chain_helper, off            &lt;br /&gt;
set cartoon_side_chain_helper, 0              #off&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
set cartoon_side_chain_helper, on             &lt;br /&gt;
set cartoon_side_chain_helper, 1              #on&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/source&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
