Hi Anasuya

You must remember to also but in the name of the protein you. You were
almost there!

You need to also specify the molecule:

select name1, Protein_1 and resi 1+5+6+7 and chain A

I'm not sure, but I don't think the align command will work on just those
selections (too few atoms).

I think pair_fit is better to use

Hope this helps!
