I have the following questions about the RasMol script command 'ssbonds'

My general problem is that I do not understand why these bonds are treated
specially in RasMol. I understand that they are connections in the
sidechain, and that makes them interesting.

I believe I was told that these S-S bonds are regular covalent bonds
(unlike hbonds). The questions below are predicated on this assumption.
(Simple answers are better ... I'm not a chemist :-)


Q: Why aren't these S-S bonds created as regular covalent bonds
automatically during the autobond process?

Q: RasMol shows these bonds as dotted lines. What is the motivation for
doing this if they are regular covalent bonds?


Thanks in advance,
Miguel
