Supporting the general case of loading more than one molecular model file is a *huge* job that would impact the entire system.

So, that is one file with multiple models. > If I understand things correctly, I could create a pdb file, where each > model has 2 chains with the reference and the simulated structure, but > that > would double up the already considerable sized pdb file (and wastes cpu > time, memory, etc.). I don't understand what you mean by the 'reference' ... and am not exactly sure what you mean by 'swim away' through time. Nevertheless, I suspect that is the correct solution. Don't worry about the memory and space. I suspect that anything that is small enough to run through a molecular dynamics simulation is too small to worry about.
