Warren, Thanks for the quick reply!

I don't think that the structure has abnormal atom distances. Is it just that the pdb file does not have HETATM or CONECT or other 'extras' ???? > > Alternatively, is there any way you could use HETATM records (instead > of ATOM) and include explicit CONECT records? I think this would solve the problem. I tried to search for a program/script that would do this and didn't find one. Seems like there should be many of these. Again, I am sorry for taking up your time on this simple problem but I want to use PyMol and I have been struggling with this for a week now.
