Hi Alexander, by default PyMOL recognized secondary structure as the minimum consensus over all states. So if a residue is not recognized as helix or sheet in _all_ states, it will be assigned as loop. You might be happy with this:
# type after loading the file dss state=1 For detailed explanation what values are valid for the "state" argument see the PyMOLWiki page: http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Dss Cheers, Thomas On 10/26/2011 11:04 AM, Alexander Schulz wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I'm quite new to Pymol and I hope that I don't ask something that has > been answered several times before, but I didn't find anything about > this topic that could solve my problem. > > I've prepared a .pdb file containing one protein at different times in > the simulation.
