That's not quite enough; PyMOL still draws bonds for me. I seem to recall something about PyMOL wanting non-consecutive residue IDs to ensure that things don't get bonded together, but that's still not enough: select nonprot, resi 160-660 alter (nonprot),resi=str(int(resi*2)) save thing.pdb delete all load thing.pdb still produced the unwanted bonds (and I made sure that there were still TER cards) [Kristian Rother] > Did you try to split up the file into smaller ones? This should do it. I wrote a cool script that split a file up into chunks on the fly and used read_pdbstr to load the chunks separately. Unfortunately, PyMOL was really slow when dealing with so many objects (it was faster to do the cmd.do('unbond...')). any other ideas? thanks, -michael > On Tuesday 17 August 2004 17:02, Michael George Lerner wrote: > > to the protein, but not to eachother.
