Hi all, newbie question here;

I think this is a question about syntax for the 'select' command. I study a homodimeric enzyme, which has been crystallized in various ligand-bound states. For example, I have loaded and aligned two different pdb files, and so there are actually four Lysine 465's on different chains and from different pdb files. If the first loaded pdb file is called 'abc' and the second is called 'xyz' how do I build a 'select' command to specify that I want create a unique selection element for K465 in one monomer (chain A) of the 1fyf file?

My guess is that I need to use a combination of 'and' operators while specifying the name,resi,and chain that I want, but there seems to be so many possible ways to write this that the likelihood of my getting it right by trial and error is looking pretty small right now ;0)

BTW,
Also having trouble with command syntax for renaming (alter-ing?) the selection names for entire pdb files that appear in the right column of the viewer window... Is there some thread in the archive, or section of one of the pdf manuals that goes deeper into this syntax issue with 'real-life' examples? If so, please point out what I've missed, so I can minimize repetition on this list.

Thanks,
