Hi Yasser, if you want to generally select all singleton atoms (atoms not bonded to other atoms), you could use this command: sel @/!bonds this is an example of specification by attribute, described here: <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/atom_spec.html#descrip...> I hope this helps, Elaine ---------- Elaine C.

Hi... The problem is that I have hundreds of pdb files with this format: four models (or less), where each one is an aminoacid and a single atom. Mostly, the single atom is an heteroatom and i select it with :/isHet, but sometimes this atom is a protein atom with the ATOM field and then, the :/isHet selection doesn't work... There is some tricky way to select this single atom types (ATOM), according to the structure of the pdb file...??? Thanks
