[Chimera-users] Feature to remove default bond between hydrogen atoms of water while loading MD trajectory

[Elaine Meng]

Dear Narinder,
Your simulation used a water model like TIP3P that includes an H-H bond.  However, you can get rid of such bonds with command:

~bond H

This would remove any bonds with both ends element H.
I hope this helps,
Elaine

I dont want to show this bond while presenting my research at meetings so I would be really grateful if I can get any help regarding removing this unwanted bond in water molecules.
