[PyMOL] Display main chain amides after preset

[Joel T. <joe...@ot...>]

Hi folks/Jason,

I have been playing with PyMOL again lately for teaching and have noticed that when you run the menu command Action>preset>ligand site >cartoon which looks great... if there are any H-bonds with a protein chain amide carbonyl, then the carbonyl is not displayed. If you use "Show>lines or sticks" this does not then show them. I'm sure there is a background (python) setting to adjust this but is it possible to include the carbonyl's in question with the initial preset? HIV protease is a good example to show this.

Cheers
Joel
