Hi John, here is something to start with:
# put everything in state 1 (convert states to objects) split_states capsid delete capsid # specify the fixed residue select fixedresidue, capsid_0001 and chain D and resi 30 # select residues of interest within given radius select s1, chain A+B+C and resi 23+45+46 select s2, s1 within 40 of fixedresidue # highlight result color blue color yellow, s2 See also: http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Selection_Algebra#Comparison_of_distance_operators Cheers, Thomas On 11/15/2012 10:47 AM, Jonathan Grimes wrote: > > i am wanting to highlight a number of residues on a virus capsid. i have > 60 > states (objects), and wanted to only select particular residues (say resi > 23,45,46 from 3 chains across all > 60 objects) that are within say 20A or 40A from a fixed point (or > residue). > > could i get advice on what scripts i could use/edit to get this done. > > thanks > jon > > > > Dr. Jonathan M.
