I truly appreciate the development and distribution of software such as Chimera to the scientific community, but alas I am not 'computer-savvy.'

I would like to map highly conserved residues of a protein onto its crystal structure (PDB 3V0I). I can view the PDB file of the crystal structure using Chimera, but I am having a hard time figuring out how to highlight residues. Could you please give me some advice about how to identify and mark particular residues using this file?

I apologize if this request seems trivial, and I appreciate any advice.

Thanks,
