I don't think so. There may have been CG in RasMol, but there was never any capability that I know of in Jmol to detect hydrogen-bonded base pairs like that. > It would be important to emphasize comparison of these with the new > functionality (I will add that in the Wiki once I'm sure). > For example, does "within" select only paired bases while the sets > select individual bases, as I suspect? > > Also, this is very disturbing: > > select within(BASEPAIR,"GC") # 15176 atoms selected > select within(BASEPAIR,"CG") # 2066 atoms selected > > good test.
