So that's what the little critter looks like...

I'm guessing black = C, blue = N, white = H, red = O? (And so presumably 
some of those a double bonds?)

Ah "double bond", that's what the expression I was seeking for, :)

After looking over the pdb file, that sounds about right.
I used babel to convert the pdb file into an .inc file for povray.
there are a few other substances that I might around to converting,
but this was the most "interesting" to me right now.

Hmm... I've always wanted to have a go at doing DNA - although I expect 
that's already been done *several* times by now...

Actually, I was wondering if anyone out there has done a macro package 
for building various molecules in POV-Ray yet... surely there's enough 
people interested that the possibility exists. ;-)

I remember a little program called "chempov" or something like that which 
created an input file por POV-Ray. There are other chemistry software 
packages (like HyperChem) which can export to POV for cool rendering.

Anyway, this kind of balls-and-sticks model is quite easy to do with POV, 
you just need the coordinates of the nuclei and the connectivity (which 
atom is bonded to which atom). Things become harder when you intend to 
display isopotential surfaces, orbital shapes, lagrangian isosurfaces... ;)

Thanks for the link!  This could be very useful.  I have a friend who's 
a chem prof and I've been trying to get him interested in POVRay.  This 
should do the trick.

BTW, I'm thinking someone (maybe me?) should start a thread on 
p.t.general (it needs some business) where we can collect links to 
everything that exports to POV (especially and is free.)
