Figure 7.1: A) The mitochondrion structure in its default color; B) The structure colored blue as a group; C) The struc-
ture colored blue as an integral group.
The new color applies to all structures in the group, even if the original colors of the objects in the group are not the
same. See example below:

Labels
In addition to representing atoms, labels can represent regions of a structure that you define. For example, you can
assign a label to an unimportant region of a molecule and then contract that region to reduce the size of your drawing.
You can then expand the label, to see the whole molecule.
Creating labels
To create a contracted label:
1. Select the area of the structure to contract.
2. Go to Structure>Contract Label. The Contract Label dialog box appears.
3. Type a label for the contracted structure and click OK.
The label replaces the selected portion of the structure.
