Hi,
Yes, VMD and most other visualization tools determine bonds
using distance-based bond determination methods (though often with
additional criteria). If you get one bad bond that you'd like to fix,
an easy way to correct this is to use the Mouse->Add/Remove Bonds menu in VMD.
(then pick the two atoms where there's a bond that shouldn't be, or
where a bond is missing...)
