Holly, Right now PyMOL has pretty limited connectivity detection capabilities for "in-process" structures, which do not exhibit normal bond lengths and atom separations. A workaround would be to passage the structure through energy minimization (using an external tool) before loading it into PyMOL (which will establish correct connectivity for the object) and to then load the original in-process coordinates as state 2 of the object.
Alternatively, is there any way you could use HETATM records (instead of ATOM) and include explicit CONECT records? Before too long, PyMOL will have pattern-based connectivity determination for normal PDB residues. Cheers, Warren -- mailto:war...@sunesis.com Warren L.
