bond creates a new bond between two selections, each of which should contain one atom. You can easily create a new bond by selecting two atoms, each with the CTRL-MIDDLE-MOUSE-BUTTON and typing "bond" on the command line.

In order to visualize the newly created bond, lines or sticks have to be shown for both atoms.

USAGE

bond [atom1, atom2 [,order]]

atom1 and atom2 must either be selections (created by the select command, for example) or chosen using the PkAt mouse action (Ctrl+Middle mouse button). order is an optional integer (default is 1).

Example usage:

bond resi 1 and name NE2, resi 10 and name ND1

PYMOL API

cmd.bond(string atom1, string atom2)

where atom1 and atom2 are selections.

NOTES

The atoms must both be within the same object.

The default behavior is to create a bond between the (lb) and (rb) selections.
