[PyMOL] bond cut-off

2002-12-13 Thread Kristl Adams
Anyone know how to increase the bond drawing cut-off? I'm trying to get Pymol to draw bonds from the Fe to the N atoms in a heme group. Thanks in advance, Kristl kri...@physics.purdue.edu

RE: [PyMOL] bond cut-off

2002-12-13 Thread DeLano, Warren
Kristl, It may not be possible to switch PyMOL over to correctly recognizing these bonds by default, but you should be able to use the "bond" command after loading to manually create the bonds. Cheers, Warren -- mailto:war...@sunesis.com Warren L. DeLano, Ph.D. Informatics Manager S
