[chimerax-users] Pseudo bonds of missing structure in cartoon style

[Eric Pettersen]

Hi Wout,
	What version of ChimeraX are you using?  Also, for the problematic pseudobond are either of its endpoint atoms not peptide backbone atoms?  If so, you will have to explicitly display the non-backbone atom in order for the pseudobond to show (display of backbone atoms is "implied" by the cartoon depiction).  Alternatively, you could delete the non-backbone atoms of the endpoint residue.

When I show the atoms as “style stick”, I can see a dashed pseudo bond between the two residues that connect the missing segment. However, when I “show cartoons” of the same structure, the dashed line disappears and the pseudo bond is no longer visible. Would you have any suggestions on what to change to make the missing structure appear as a dashed line when the model is shown in cartoon style?
