[PyMOL] Pymol: Cartoon representation for .pdb file with multible entries

[Alexander S. <sc...@dw...>]

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. I'd like to prepare a video from this file, which is why
I'd like to keep everything in one .pdb file.

When I select "cartoon" as a representation, the backbone is visualized
as a tibe (as always), but no secondary strucutres are recognized. When
I copy one of the snaphots out of the .pdb and open in seperately, the
secondary structure is shown correctly.

How can I make Pymol show the structure of the multible states in one
file correctly?

Thanks in advance for answers!

Cheers,
Alexander
