[Chimera-users] carbon-chlorine bond

[Francesco Pietra]

For a monochlorinated small alkaloid docked onto a protein model,
after molecular dynamics simulations Chimera shows the chlorine atom
as a dot, without a line to represent the bond. Before dynamics, the
C-Cl line connecting the two atoms was shown. Other viewers show the
bond both before and after MD.  For the purpose of presentation, how
to set a longer C-Cl bond length as a temporary default for Chimera?

Very likely the parameterization for chlorine in the MD suite is not
as it should.
