I remember this posting from a while ago:

which may have some clues.

Whoops, my bad -- I duped the approval before seeing your repost!
Answer:
# first create a phony molecular trajectory
load $PYMOL_PATH/test/dat/pept.pdb, obj
for a in range(2,31): cmd.create("obj","obj",1,a)
unbond 5/c, 6/n
protect not ((5/c or 6/n) extend 4)
sculpt_activate obj, 30
sculpt_iterate obj, 30, 100
smooth obj, 30, 3
# then program a bond-break/re-form movie
mset 1 x30 1 -30 30 x30 30 -1
mdo 45: unbond 5/c, 6/n, quiet=1
mdo 100: bond 5/c, 6/n, quiet=1
frame 100
as sticks
orient 5-6/n+ca+c
mplay
# NOTE: only tested on PyMOL 1.2.x
Cheers,
