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. <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/savemodel.html#pdb> 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 <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/selection.html> Alternatively you can just delete all the atoms you don't want before you save the file, e.g. with the "delete" command. <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/delete.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hi, I was wondering if you knew how to cut out (clip) a part of the protein and save the remaining part as a PDB file. I attached the file I was working with that has the two proteins that are aligned together and we want only a certain part of this alignment to be clip. Thank you <session 1.py>
