Dear Eric I though the Calcium vs. Calpha issue was fixed years ago.
> 'select *.cd' selects both carbons delta and cadmium (1d66). I see, that's because the atom name is shifted by one space and Jmol seems not to differentiate " CD" for delta carbon "CD " for cadmium according to PDB spec Easiest is to use the element in the script: select *.cd and _C select *.cd and not _Cd > 'select *.ca' selects carbons alpha but NOT calcium (4aqr). select alpha select *.ca and _C select *.ca and not _Ca > What I am using in FirstGlance that fails to select calcium is > 'select *:A.ca&&hetero' > (Well, this is not optimal anyway since it would also select alpha carbons in > non-standard > residues) Indeed; best use: select _Ca > I am now setting about to change my code to > 'select [ca]:A' select _Ca and *:A Hope that helps ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want excitement?
