David,
You found a bug -- it turns out PyMOL was getting confused by
the presence of a "P" atom in P-tyr. It thought the residue contained
both protein and DNA, and so the cartoon had an extra gap.
The following workaround should get you a complete cartoon with 1fmk.
Future versions of PyMOL should not suffer from this problem.
alter all.type='ATOM'
alter name P,name='P1'
sort
Thanks for your help in quashing that bug!
Cheers,
Warren
