Hi all ,

I have some trouble in displaying the RNA of a biomolecule in a
trace, tube, or similar graphical representation. It concerns
1JGP.pdb, which displays the 30S ribosome subunit including t-
RNA and m-RNA. The t and m-RNAs are displayed nicely as well
as the protein backbone, but the 30S RNA backbone is not shown,
despite that the Phosphors are defined. One can show the
Phosphors in a atom presentation but not as a backbone. Strangely
the analoge backbone structure for the corresponding 50S
ribosome subunit ( 1GIY.pdb) does not cause problems although
the pdb file is much more rudimentary than for 1JGP.pdb. Pymol
seems to have the same problems with 1JGP, while Rasmol depicts
the backbone structure well
Is there any hint to a solution

Many thanks in advance Peter
