-This describes how to do this in Pymol and assumes you initate a session with the console containing the menubar.
+===2024 automated or scripted way to unfold a segment of a protein chain===
+See [https://www.biostars.org/p/9588134/#9589058 my answer here to the question on Biostars entitled 'How can I linearize certain residues within an existing protein structure to create a dumbbell-shaped structure?'] for an option to do this in a scripted in PyMOL or automated way with PyMOL by setting dihedral angles for a span of amino acids to represent an unfolded state. Importantly, you can do with an PDB that has a protein chain by specifying the PDB id code and chain and region without needing to install anything on your system.

+This describes how to do this in Pymol and assumes you initiate a session with the console containing the menubar.
 Using Pymol commands to do this via commands is described at the [http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Modeling_and_Editing_Structures Modeling and Editing Structures page] at the Pymol Wiki.
