[Chimera-users] metal coordination to display off

[Luigi Di Costanzo]

Eric -- Yes it works.. I should have known better about editing the pdb 
file :-)

Btw if you selet the bond with Ctrl-click, then click on the green icon 
that shows up on the bottom corner right of the screen. from the pseudo 
bond click false and that bond disappears.
