Dear Chimera team, I was using chimera to do some pdb editing and exporting the file for pymol printing. However after the editing with chimera the pdb file won't show secondary cartoon in pymol (It still shows perfect secondary structure in chimera). I used the file--export function in chimera and I have checked the pdb file and the secondary structure description in the pdb file is intact. Do you think if I export the file in a wrong way that caused the incomplete cartoon? If not what do you think could be the reason causing the issue? Thank you, Ming

Hi Ming, I don’t really know why PyMOL wouldn’t show the secondary structure. Chimera outputs legal HELIX/SHEET records. I guess my suggestion is to ask on the PyMOL mailing list why PyMOL doesn’t show secondary structure for your molecule, and attach the PDB file so that they can figure out what the problem is. —Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab
