Question about drawing disulfide bonds in Pymol

Dear All,

 

I have a question regarding making disulfide bonds in Pymol. The overall structure is in cartoon representation. When I display the disulfide bond residues as stick models, the cysteine residues sitting on the beta strand have a gap from the actual beta-strand. If I check off the flat sheet option, all the beta-strands look very wavy, but the cysteines are actually on the beta strands. I want to just change the two beta-strands with cysteine residues on it as wavy strands and keep other beta-strands flat looking. Does anyone know a way to do this or has better ways to draw individual residues on beta-strands. Thanks!

IIUC, the set command in pymol allows per-selection application, i.e. if
you try this in the command line instead of checking the option in the
menu

set cartoon_flat_sheets, 0, blah

where blah is your selection.

Hi,

I think it should also work with the cartoon side chain helper option which
adjust the cartoon slightly to prevent such situations.
