Mariah,
the sec. strc. recognition in pymol is not always getting it right (sorry Warren). Use dssp http://swift.cmbi.kun.nl/gv/dssp/ to get the proper sec. strc assignment. There is a nice tool by James Stroud http://structure.usc.edu/dssp2pdb/ to transfer the information from the dssp out-file to the pdb file. Pymol will read this information from the pdb file and show it.
Best regards,
Guenter

Dear All,

I have a question about PYMOL.

I am trying to make a cartoon diagram of my protein showing the secondary structural elements. However for some reasons it is not showing the N terminal strand and showing that as a loop. Is there any command for selecting a range of residues and showing them as a strand or helix.

Thanks for helping.

Mariah
