Hi Yuri,
this is not the case; VMD is not limited to 999 residues. However, some
input formats may have residue limits. Could you be a bit more specific
on where you got your structure? For example, PDB files are supposed to
have 4 columns dedicated to resid, but if your fields are shifted then
it will appear to only have 3 columns available.
