select thingy, id 688+689+690+1247+1259+1961+1862 - for some reason, 688-690... doesn't seem to work for me - i've had problems with id in the past .. PyMOL used to re-number things, but i don't think it re-numbers them these days (i could easily be wrong about this) - be careful in scripts: 'id' is a builtin python function. if you're using it as a variable name, use something like ID instead.
you could also use select thingy, 87/CG+OD1+OD2 or 157/OG or 159/OG1 or 234/CZ3+CH2 actually, the second way seems more meaningful to me anyway. -michael -- This isn't a democracy;| _ |Michael Lerner it's a cheer-ocracy. | ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) | Michigan -Torrence, Bring It On| - against HTML email X | Biophysics | / \ | mler...@umich On Mon, 31 Jan 2005, Jon Binkley wrote:
Greetings, I want to define and display a patch of functionally related atoms on a protein-- but only the individual atoms of interest, not the entire residues to which they might belong. Is there a way to select atoms by their serial number in the PDB file, rather than name or residue membership? Failing a direct selection, is there another way I can group multiple, disparate atoms into a single selection? This is the best I've come up with so far, using residue and name: To group the following atoms: ATOM 688 CG ASP A 87 ATOM 689 OD1 ASP A 87 ATOM 690 OD2 ASP A 87 ATOM 1247 OG SER A 157 ATOM 1259 OG1 THR A 159 ATOM 1861 CZ3 TRP A 234 ATOM 1862 CH2 TRP A 234 I give the following four selection commands: select a87, (resi 87 and name CG,OD1,OD2) select a157, (resi 157 and name OG) select a159, (resi 159 and name OG1) select a234, (resi 234 and name CZ3,CH2) Which leaves me with with 4 separate selections. What's the most efficient way to get a single selection or object out of this?
