Dear Rolf, You are correct. I expect that for the largest biomolecules, in order to fit an alpha carbon filtered model into the default java memory, I shall need to remove some alpha carbons using the Jmol application (with e.g. 512 megs of memory), reconnect over the larger inter-atomic distances, then save the reduced-size file, then use it for display in e.g. Proteopedia. I have not tried it yet. You may find it useful to look at some examples of filtering large PDB files: http://www.proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/Jmol/Visualizing_large_molecules I did succeed at connecting non-bonded atoms over arbitrary distances: http://www.proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/SV40_Capsid_Simplified (see "See Also" for the connect command employed) -Eric /* - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Eric Martz, Professor Emeritus, Dept Microbiology U Mass, Amherst -- http://Martz.MolviZ.Org Top Five 3D MolVis Technologies http://Top5.MolviZ.Org FirstGlance, used by Nature - http://firstglance.jmol.org 3D Wiki with Scene-Authoring Tools http://Proteopedia.Org Biochem 3D Education Resources http://MolviZ.org ConSurf - Find Conserved Patches in Proteins: http://consurf.tau.ac.il Atlas of Macromolecules: http://atlas.molviz.org Workshops: http://workshops.molviz.org World Index of Molecular Visualization Resources: http://molvisindex.org PDB Lite Macromolecule Finder: http://pdblite.org Molecular Visualization EMail List (molvis-list): http://list.molviz.org Protein Explorer - 3D Visualization: http://proteinexplorer.org - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - */ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Protect Your Site and Customers from Malware Attacks Learn about various malware tactics and how to avoid them.
