[PyMOL] Select Atom Change View

2004-01-14 Thread Douglas Kojetin

Hi All-

Is it possible to do the following through the command line ...

-- select an atom (say the CA of residue 25) and bring the view of the 
molecule within PyMOL so that 25.CA is 'up front' (or closest to the 
viewer's point of view)?


Thanks for the input,
Doug

Yes, zoom (resi 25 and name CA) should do the trick. You can specify an 
additional buffer space around the selection (zoom (resi 25 and CA),2 for 
example). If you have multiple chains and molecules, you will have to make 
your selection more specific
(zoom (protein and chain A and resi 25 and name CA) for example). There are 
many abbreviations for long selections. Type help selections for more 
information.
