Henry, I've devised a (very) dirty solution: duplicate residue 1 as nr. 9 The trace or cartoon is very sharp at the connection, so things get better if we shift the residue numbering, such as making 1 -> 6 2 -> 7 3 -> 8 4 -> 1 5 -> 2 6 -> 3 7 -> 4 8 -> 5 9 is a copy of the new residue 1 (former 6

Well, it is not based on residue numbering. A possible way to deal with this ould be to parse the pdb information in LINK records. Henry's file (2HK4.pdb) has them: LINK P C A 1 O3* T A 8 LINK P C B 1 O3* T B 8

Hi Henry Nice molecule! I had only known cyclic DNA molecules as in "circular" DNA, e.g. procariotic DNA and plasmids. Chemicaly there is not much difference. I don't know the exact code being used fior calculating and rendering cartoons et al., but I guess it is based on phosphorus IDs and r
