Florian,

        Based on your description, I think you might not be getting the
selections right.  Try:

        Ctrl-shift left click on the first atom
        Ctrl-shift right click on the second atom
        Then control-T to bond (tie) them together.

Cheers,
Warren

Subject: [PyMOL] connect atoms

Dear all,
 
I am trying to connect to atoms (Ctrl+shift selection and then Ctrl+T).
They are in the same molecule and in the same chain. However, the
connection is between a the carbonly carbon of  a Gly and an oxygen atom
of a segment which I called SEG. This is because the protein undergoes a
backbone rearrangement, forming an ester. Anyways, I always get the
error message: "Editor error: Invalid selections, requires two bonded
atoms in the same moilecule". As I said, the atoms should be in the same
molecule.
 
 
Does anyone know a way to connect these atoms? Also it would in general
possibly be nice to be able to connect atoms which are not in the same
molecule (covelently bound ligands etc.)
 
Thank you,
 
Florian
