Hello Bob,

I'm sure we all love a serious challenge, looking forward to it ;-).


By some weird synchronicity, I came across your name today while searching Jmol 
mailing list archives from 2006 on the topic of handling 'alt location'.


I have a problem aligning structures in JMol (based on sequence alignment, and 
alpha carbons), whenever the CA atoms appear in alternate locations.

Essentially I need a variant of the selection pattern e.g.

  {1-40.*CA}

which would exclude any alternate locations (so I don't match too many atoms).


My best effort so far is something like

{1.*CA[-1]|2.*CA[-1]|3.*CA[-1]....40.*CA[-1]}

which seems to work but is unwieldy.


Does anything spring to mind how to address this? Or should I do the right 
thing and address the JMol mailing list?


Thanks and regards,


Mungo

Thanks for adding me to this list. I am very excited to see if we can use 
Java2Script along with the Swing business I am working on now to do this. I am 
optimistic, though I realize it is a serious challenge.
