[Molvis-list] help: SS-bond in Rasmol-2.7.3

[Kevin Karplus]

I don't know how RASMOL determines SSbonds, but my program undertaker
finds 6 disulfides in 1aol:
SS bond: 2.01426 Ang (1aol)C178.SG and (1aol)C184.SG
SS bond: 2.0387 Ang (1aol)C133.SG and (1aol)C146.SG
SS bond: 2.01986 Ang (1aol)C121.SG and (1aol)C141.SG
SS bond: 2.02242 Ang (1aol)C46.SG and (1aol)C98.SG
SS bond: 2.02107 Ang (1aol)C72.SG and (1aol)C87.SG
SS bond: 2.04136 Ang (1aol)C73.SG and (1aol)C83.SG
I'm using a simple SG-SG distance to detect these disulfides, and I
suspect that RASMOL uses a similar mechanism.
The 1aol file does not have crystallographer-provided SSBOND or HBOND
records, just the HELIX and SHEET records.
