Atomic is a amazing visualizer for molecules and protein structures. Working with it, I noticed about an interesting feature to add. Sometimes it is necessary to select and visualize a specific atom of the structure visualized (very often when working with huge system such as enzymes).
A quite good improvement could be to add the option (in some type of command line) to select a desired atom (by the number of the atom or the number of the residue) and, additionally, show it (if possible) with different appearance.
For enzymes, or protein systems, it would be nice to have the possibility to have the backbone of all the protein in 'Cartoon' and specific residues or atoms in, for example, 'Licorice'. Most proteins have active site and it is useful to have it represented atom by atom.
