Hi Ms. Meng,

Thank you again for the help! My research head and I had one more question, we opened the structure and visualized the sequence and we want to delete from 90-124 to match up our sequences of our protein. I attached an image of what we are trying to cut out. 

Thank you again!

Hi Rayna,
In the Save PDB dialog (menu: File... Save PDB), there are options to "Save only displayed atoms" or "Save only selected atoms."

First show all the atoms, so you can actually see what is there, e.g. menu: Presets... Interactive 1 (all atoms).  Then either select the ones you want or hide the ones you don't want.  Then in the Save PDB dialog turn on the appropriate option.

You can select with the mouse (Ctrl-click/drag) or with the "select" command.  In the command you can specify model number, ranges of residue numbers, etc., for example:

select #3:45-83,90-98

Alternatively you can just delete all the atoms you don't want before you save the file, e.g. with the "delete" command.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
