I often use multiple-model pdb files to mimic transitons between one state of a molecule and another. the major drawback is the large file sizes that result. regards, :tim -- timothy driscoll molvisions - molecular graphics & visualization <http://www.molvisions.com/> usa:north carolina:wake forest ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
