I think in this case, you need to create a PDB file looks like this:

...first protein, N->C
TER
...linker
TER
...second protein, N->C

after loadPdb, use the bond command to create the cross-links you want
between the linker and the two protein chains.

The downside of this is that the residue numbering for the second
protein will still be in the N->C direction. I can't immediately think
of any easy way around this. (A number of subtle parts of both setup
and analysis assume that proteins are described N->C; it's probably
easier to live with it than to try to change it.)

As always, maybe someone on the list has a better idea.

...good luck....dac
