I am trying to explain how the select statement in 12.2.28, works to one of my
students and am confused by the following example.
load =1lcd
select ({553:559})
This selects the carbons in a phenyl ring plus the C it is attached to.
Here's what has me confused. The atoms selected are:
#556, #557,#558,#559, #560, #561, #562
These are clearly not within the selection range indicated. My first
interpretation is that it maybe this is based on connectivity, because it
selects atoms connected to #553 following bonds to #559. But that's not what
it is doing either. If you try:
select ({557:559})
You get three atoms selected #560, 561 and 562. It certainly is three atoms,
but why these three and not #558, 560 and 561, which are nearest neighbors in
the ring to #557 rather than 559?
How is Jmol interpreting these select statements? I'd like to be able to
explain this too him.
Thanks,
Jonathan
