Hello, Eric already mentioned the most important point: that this is only the format used within the Custom Residue Label dialog (opened with Actions... Label... residue... custom in the Chimera menu). The string starting with "wt" mentioned in your mail is just an example from the man page. If you didn't want "wt" in your label, of course, it shouldn't appear in that string. The Custom Residue Label dialog doesn't actually require anyone to type in those slightly ugly strings by hand, however. If you really wanted the label to be SER200 for example, you would just select that serine residue, open the dialog from the menu, and then click the buttons name number (in that order) and then Apply. Hope this clarifies - Elaine --- Elaine C.

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?
Thanks in advance. -- Stephen P.
