This is awesome. It looks like this has been a valid setting for a *long* time, but I've never seen it. I look at a lot of MCSS-type structures, and I have some really painful scripts that get the bonds right once the structure is loaded in PyMOL. Now, I can just stamp the CONECT records at the end of the file and load things up in connect_mode=1 world and everything works. Speaking of which, I made a little bash shell script to launch PyMOL this way:

pymol -d "cmd.set('connect_mode',1)" $@

It took me a couple of tries to get that right. The documentation for command-line options says

  -d <string> Run pymol command string upon startup.

so I first tried

pymol -d "set connect_mode,1" $@

but that doesn't work. Is this a documentation typo? I thought a PyMOL command string was anything you could type at the PyMOL command prompt.

set connect_mode, 1

load CONECT_only_pdb.pdb

Is there a similar command to force PyMOL to use only CONECT
lines in the pdb file instead of generating connectivity by distance?

A quick fix is to use the "retain_order" setting.

set retain_order

which will force PyMOL to honor the order of ATOMs in the
PDB file over the numeric ordering of residue identifiers.

Cheers,

Hi Ann,

I would change the chain id of the propeptide in a text
editor, to say
P and remove the P from after the residue numbers.

Hi,

I am having problems displaying proteins with unusual residue
numbering, such as proteins with propeptides. An example is

1cs8, which

starts off like
this:

ATOM      1  N   SER A   1P    -32.762  23.978  22.929  0.00 34.26
N
ATOM      2  CA  SER A   1P    -32.360  24.645  21.660  0.00 34.08
C
ATOM      3  C   SER A   1P    -32.303  26.162  21.821  0.00 33.91
C
ATOM      4  O   SER A   1P    -32.838  26.712  22.786  0.00 33.82
O
ATOM      5  CB  SER A   1P    -33.338  24.274  20.541  0.00 34.28
C
ATOM      6  OG  SER A   1P    -34.684  24.406  20.971  0.00 34.36
O
.
.
.
And later on comes the sequence corresponding to the
mature protein:

ATOM   1060  N   ALA A   1      11.470  66.852  16.148  1.00 22.69
N
ATOM   1061  CA  ALA A   1      11.282  65.561  15.491  1.00 20.80
C
ATOM   1062  C   ALA A   1      10.621  65.677  14.113  1.00 20.33
C
ATOM   1063  O   ALA A   1       9.920  66.649  13.835  1.00 18.43
O
ATOM   1064  CB  ALA A   1      10.451  64.636  16.393  1.00 19.50
C
Etc.

If I open 1cs8 with PyMol, I can see everything in the "lines",
"sticks" and "surface" representation, but in ribbon or
cartoon mode
only part of the protein is shown. What do I have to do to

show the whole sequence?

How do I select residues with a "P" appended to the residue

number? If

I say "select resi 1P-5P" I get both 1P-5P and 1-5.

Any help will be appreciated! (I am using PyMol version 0.98

for Windows).
