It is currently not implemented, but I plan to put in a restriction

Q: Would this type of restriction conflict with any of these
applications?

(The only thing I can think of is nuclear reactions ... where the
atom type would change :-)



unless I misunderstand your suggestion, I would argue against such a
restriction. it is often helpful to animate the transition from bound
to unbound states of an enzyme, for example, where the bound state
structure contains ligand but the unbound state does not.



But the atoms still exist, right?

It seems to me that you would want to show that they have just moved to
different locations.


but in reality you may have a structure of the "drug" bound to the ligand structure (one Xray PDB file) and a ligand structure without the "drug" (the other PDB file) but no structure of the drug alone, so you may want to hide the "drug" (and it is simply not in the second file and there may be resolution problems with one of the files, and not all atoms are well defined, but the morph of the cartoon would look instructive.
