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' ????

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.


Cheers,
Holly
