Tiger,

I am no expert by far, but can you select the linkage? If so, just select and hide. Also, you might try just hiding the two residues that are linked, this might get rid of the link and you probably wouldn't notice the missing residues unless it is a small protein. alternatively, and probably the best solution is to edit the pdb file to create two individual files, one for each dimer (this can be done in any text editor). then open both in Pymol and you should then be able to edit independently.

The problem may be, and again I remind you that I am no expert, that these atoms are two close to each other and may be getting mistaken for a covalent interaction, can't tell without actually seeing though.

Hope any or all of this helps.  Good Luck!



Cheers,
Nick

Subject: [PyMOL] question about ca trace


Hi, There:
I have a pdb file for a dimer. only coordinates of alph carbons are in the pdb. In the pymol, I
set cartoon_trace, 1
and
show cartoon
each monomer is fine but a weird linkage showed up between the last residue of chain a and first residue of chain b. I just can't remove this ugly linkage. Do you have any idea? Thank you. Actually I tried ribbon mode and no this weird linkage but I like the figure qualify of the cartoon.
Tiger
