Thanks, both you and Elaine, for your reply First of all, I had made the Action selections you outlined below. Now, I hate to be so dense (although, after a lifetime of practice at it, I think that I'm rather good at being dense), but how do I select the particular residue that I want to label in 1qti so that I can cut and paste the information. The reason that I want to label it in the first place is so that I can identify the residue in the graphics window. Certainly Select/Residue/Name lets me pick all of the serine residues in the protein, but I only want one of them labeled. I hope that I haven't made my question even more murky than it origionally was. Eagerly awaiting your further explanation. Thanks in advance.

I have to admit to being completly flumoxed [sic] by this one!
How do I label an individual residue: According to help the format is:
wt %(1-letter code)s%(number)s
Now I have an enzyme, 1QTI.pdb in which I wish to label the SER200 label. I have tried every combination of the example on the help page that I can think of without success.
What is the exact format for creating that label?
Hi Stephen, I just want to make sure we're on the same page first: these substitution codes only work when using the Actions...Label...residue...custom dialog (i.e. not from other ways to place labels, such as the "label" command or by using the selection inspector). That said, the example works for me. If I have SER200 in 1qti selected, and I cut-and-paste that format into the labeling dialog and hit OK, the residue is labeled "wt S200" in the graphics window. What's the behavior when you do this?
