Dear Omer, many thanks for your answer, but your solution doesn't work for me. We have Protein-Lipid models in the CG scale. Only if I replace all atom names in the PDB file through "CA" I can use the "trace" drawing method, but get also wrong atoms connected to each other. For example CG Beads with low distances to each other, e.g. in coarse-grained benzene rings, were not connected. I guess that this method is distance dependent, too, but in another way. :-)
Does anybody else have a solution (...to put GROMACS bond information into VMD)? Thomas -- Thomas H.
