Did you know... Pdb use ter records When a molecule (e.g. a protein molecule) is saved in pdb format by PyMOL, a line of TER record is inserted wherever the residue id is not sequential. To suppress this feature, set pdb_use_ter_records value to 0 before saving protein molecules. Version History 2.3.0 new implementation, works correctly with gaps 1.8.4 feature removed <= 1.8.2 feature broken for various use cases (e.g. gaps) <= 1.5.0.4 feature broken for HETATM polymer residues (e.g. MSE) Example get pdb_use_ter_records # return current value of pdb_use_ter_records set pdb_use_ter_records, 0 PyMOL API cmd.set('pdb_use_ter_records', 0) See Also pdb_conect_nodup pdb_conect_all
