Incomplete chain contain many dotted lines while displaying

Hello Everyone, I have a problem while display PDB file. I extract the residues from protein-protein interface by ligplus into a new PDB file, and want to display and analysis it. As the file contain only the residues form interface, they are discontinuous. While display with pymol, it is OK. However, While using Chimera, there are many dotted lines between the residues. I know what the dotted lines are, but I do want to hide all these lines, can somebody please give me some hints? I sent two figures in the attachment. It's the first time I used mail-list, if it doesn't support figures, please check here: Interface display by pymol http://bbs.sysu.edu.cn/attach/Pictures/1335235173.JPG Interface display by Chimera http://bbs.sysu.edu.cn/attach/Pictures/1335235254.JPG Thank you very much!

Hi Junfeng, Use command: ~longbond <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/longbond.html> (the command line can be shown using the menu: Favorites... Command Line) I hope this helps, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.

Hi Elaine, Thank you very much! It work! I have to study more about Chimera. Thanks again! Junfeng Sun Yat-sen University Guangzhou, China On Wed, Apr 25, 2012 at 12:23 AM, Elaine Meng <meng@cgl.ucsf.edu> wrote:
