[PyMOL] representation of residue sidechain within a beta strand?

[Emilia C. A. (Emily) <ecg...@gm...>]

Hi All,

I'm wondering if anyone here knows how to represent an amino acid residue
side chain that resides within a beta strand in stick representation such
that the residue is linked in space with the backbone. This works fine when
representing as sticks a residue that is within a loop or helix, but not
within a strand; there it just sticks out into space, which looks awful if
the figure is not turned 'just so' so that the viewer cannot see the space.
I am using version 2.4.0 on my Mac.

Regards,
Emilia.
