In RasMol, a select which didn't specify a specific alternate conformation selects the first occurrence of an atom only. >Q: By default, which conformations should get displayed. > >Frankly, the more I think about this 'alternate conformation' think the >less I like it. > >The fact is, alternate conformations are different models.
