hi all,

the standard protein backbone rep in Jmol is straight-line
connections between adjacent alpha carbons (adjacent in the sequence,
of course).  but I seem to recall a more 'wormy' possibility, perhaps
a spline curve instead of a straight line.  does anyone else know
what I'm talking about? and, even better, does anyone know the
command for it?

I think that you want:

  trace on;
  trace 0.5;
  trace 1.0;

  color trace structure;

'trace' is a spline that passes through the mid-points between the
alpha-carbon atoms.

this is the same rendering that is used for turn and random coil in
'cartoons'.


<doh>
yes, trace is what I want, of course. <sigh> how embarrassing. thanks for not dope-slapping me, Miguel, even though I deserved it. :-)

I actually spent time searching the lit archive for 'wormy', too. gadzooks.
