[Chimera-users] displaying backbone atoms of peptide

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Jesse,
My guess is that you are displaying ribbon, which automatically hides the backbone atoms.  You can hide ribbon, for example with command “~ribbon” (or use Actions menu), or alternatively if you want to show both ribbon and backbone atoms at the same time, use command “ribbackbone”.
