Hi Hari, In Incentive PyMOL, the entity id is loaded into the "entity_id" atom property, which is available as p.entity_id in the selection language and in iterate/alter. Since Open-Source PyMOL doesn't support arbitrary atom properties yet, we also populate the "custom" property with the same value. So this should work:
# all PyMOL versions select 5S, custom 58 # Incentive PyMOL only select 5S, p.entity_id in 58 See also: https://pymol.org/d/properties#selection_language Cheers, Thomas > On Aug 23, 2017, at 10:38 PM, hari jayaram <hari...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi all, > I am trying to select a particular chain ( the 5S RNA) within the E.coli > ribosome cif file ( pdb ID 4V69) > > The sequence info page at rcsb indicates that this chain has the information > given below.
