Hi Brian,

Thanks a lot! Apparently, VMD isn’t able to open PDBQT files then. I wonder if there are plans to add this functionality to VMD any time in the foreseeable future.

All the best!

Whenever I try to visualize using a backbone-based representation (ribbons, cartoon, etc.), nothing shows. Has anyone here dealt with a similar problem before?
