* Also, if there is any way to create a ""curved cylinder"" representation for helices, applied as a ribbon style rather than as per pipes and planks, I really think it is essential - having good reduced representations of molecules that preserve as much information as possible is increasingly important as solved structures become larger and more complex. E.g. check out the number of curved helices in the attached structure - ribbons are not optimal because it is so big, but pipes and planks looks like a mess...

Cheers,
Oli.
