Hi Roja,
Which PyMOL version do you use? The "attach_amino_acid" function had a bug in
old versions, it was fixed in PyMOL 1.8.0.
A capped poly-threonine alpha helix can be built in PyMOL (1.8+) like this:
from pymol import cmd, editor
cmd.set('retain_order', 0)
cmd.fab('T' * 40, ss=1)
editor.attach_amino_acid("last name C", 'nme')
editor.attach_amino_acid("first name N", 'ace')
Cheers,
Thomas
