Hi Volker, You can dictate structures to Jmol very simply, with a command or commands as follows: structure sheet (1-7) structure none (8-11) structure helix (12-17) structure none (18-28) structure helix (29-34) structure none (35-50) structure sheet (51-63) Then when you say, select 1-63 cartoon on the structures will act accordingly. You can use a series of commands to dictate the secondary structure of an entire protein, or you can just specify a particular region with a single command, and let the default structures stand for the rest of the file (if they exist). This works for a pdb file, but I have no experience trying it with xyz files.
