Thanks Robert Campbell,
I've actually used the build_seq_phi_psi.py script before, and it is WONDERFUL!
I can (and probably will) use it in this case also. I was just checking to
see if there wasn't an easier way to do this within PyMOL... Something that
would take a selection of a pdb structure and generally 'loosen' or 'relax' it.
(I know it sounds vague.)
Thanks again!
