Hi everyone,

I want to display one chain from a structure, only. However, I do not understand how to achieve that.

After my PDB file opens, I can do

select :*.A #select all residues in chain A that I want to have

select invert #select everything else not in chain A

~ribbon

hides everything. How can I tell ~ribbon to hide everything not in chain A. Or, how can I select everything not in chain A?

I am calling chimera through the socket and do not want to parse out every chain.

Thanks in advance, Thomas _______________________________________________ Chimera-users mailing list Chimera-users@cgl.ucsf.edu http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/mailman/listinfo/chimera-users
