Summary: alpha carbon only structures

Initial Comment:
Jmol currently requires all 4 NCCO atoms in order to
draw protein backbone shapes. 

Jan is working with 1alm ... with alpha carbons only. 

Backbone & trace do not work.

Hi Miguel,
with 1alm which is a *.CA only model structure no
backbone (and no  trace) is drawn
http://www.imb-jena.de/cgi-bin/SCOPlnk.exe?JMOL=1alm
but at least for backbone *.CA positions should be
sufficient.
Regards, Jan

Good points.

Particularly since you can say
  select *.ca & protein

Q: What does RasMol do if you try to do a trace or a
cartoon?

I think another problem may be that I have a number of
assumptions in the code that all 4 atoms of the
backbone are present.


I will file a bug report and take another look at this
when I work on nucleotide chain backbones & secondary
structure graphical
representations.


Miguel
