"unbond pk1, pk2" and "bond pk1, pk2" Commands

This section provides a tutorial on how to unbond or bond atoms from a molecule in PyMol using picked atoms as special selections, pk1, pk2, pk3 and pk4.

You can unbond or bond atoms picked atoms as pk1, pk2, pk3 and pk4 selections from the molecule structure. For example:

PyMOL># remove the bond between first two picked atoms:
PyMOL>unbond pk1, pk2

PyMOL># add a bond between first two picked atoms
PyMOL>bond pk1, pk2
MyMol Unbond and Bond Picked Atoms
MyMol Unbond and Bond Picked Atoms
