Question 1, CA-trace: show ribbon set ribbon_sampling=1
(NOTE: requires all main chain atoms to be present, but not necessarily visible -- CA-only models will be supported later on). Question 2, Alignment of structural homologs (requires version 0.82). load prot1.pdb load prot2.pdb align prot1,prot2////ca This will perform a sequence alignment and then an iterative alpha-carbon superposition of matched residues.

So far I'm very,very impressed. I have two questions: 1. How do you display a simple CA trace. I saw the selection for a backbone trace. 2. I want to rms-fit two structural homologs. How is this done in PyMOL? I tried using the fit command and kept getting errors. Thanks for you help Craig L. Smith, Ph. D.
