Dear Krisztina,
alternatively you could use Xwalk for visualizing distance constraints on PDB
structures. Please have a look at the webserver (www.xwalk.org) or download the
software if you find it useful (http://www.xwalk.org/cgi-bin/download.cgi).
With Xwalk you can calculate surface distances and Euclidean distances between
atoms in PDB structures. For visualisation purposes it produces .pml PyMol
scripts, which might be exactly what you are looking for. For targeted distance
calculation all you need to do is provide Xwalk your PDB structure and a text
file with a list of the atom pairs. The text file has to have the following
format:
index\tproteinName\tAtomIdentifier1\tAtomIdentifier2
e.g:
1 test.pdb LYS-1-A-CA LYS-2-A-CA
2 test.pdb LYS-4-A-CA LYS-10-A-CA
...
Once you have your text file ready, simply run Xwalk as follows:
> java Xwalk -infile test.pdb -dist noe.txt -euc -pymol -out test_noe.pml
You can also try "java Xwalk -help" to get further information about additional
commandline parameters. After Xwalk has finished its calculation, open the
test_noe.pml file with PyMol.
Let me know if you need any further assistance.
