Thanks for giving me feedback on this.

This is about the first feedback I have received on ssbonds ... it
probably has some bugs

The reason the ssbonds are green is because your backbone carbon atoms are
green.

I do _not_ plan to implement ssbonds in exactly the same way as
RasMol/Chime. I may be mistaken, but I believe that RasMol does *not* show
ssbonds by default. And they are not affected by normal 'wireframe'
commands. This is a mistake. ssbonds are normal covalent bonds and should
be detected and rendered and should behave like any other bond.

Now, I understand that we want to have this 'special' behavior of 'set
ssbonds backbone' so that we can show these disulfide linkages in
backbone/cartoon representations.

I think that you are right. In this cartoon representation I agree that
you want to see yellow bonds between the backbone and that you don't want
to see the bond between the actual Sulphur atoms.

Those are good ideas.

It looks like you can currently say
 'color ssbonds yellow'

and that will explicitly fix part of the problem.


I will look at the code and get back to you.
