Jason (or someone else),

Is there way in pymol to look for the following angle in a structure φ=-49o and 
ψ=-26o ? Which is the definition of a 310 helix. And yes we'd have to search 
for a few degrees plus of minus of those angles. They should all appear in 
tight turns and last for about 3 or 4 amino acids (I don't think there wouldn't 
be any cartoon helix shown).

I don't think there are any pdbs yet that contain pi helices (because of the 
loose packing and steric hindrance of the side chains), does anyone know of any?

Thanks 

Adam
