[PyMOL] ATOM and CONECT..

Hello, I was going through the PDB file specification.. there are some PDB files that doesn't have CONECT records, but pymol still manages to draw them connected together (just from the ATOM records). How is this done? I tried searching on this, but since I don't really come from bio/chemistry

I see, so that's something like using the Van der Waals radius, etc? I guess this kind of stuff does need chemistry background (tried researching on that). Cheers On Sat, Sep 13, 2008 at 4:13 AM, DeLano Scientific del...@delsci.infowrote: Yose, By default, PyMOL guesses connectivity based
