Hi Dmitry,

just for the records of the mailing list (as somebody have the same issue):

Load map and model.

Test your selection (this step is not needed, but helps if the selection includes multiple parts)

# hide all atoms

hide atoms

# show your selection. The model is #2, you want to only select chlorophyll from chain A

show #2/A:BCL

This should display just your molecule/residue/ligand of interest.

For the selection syntax:

https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/atomspec.html

Now create a new map, just from your molecule

volume zone #1 nearAtoms #2/A:BCL newMap true

One can include also the range parameter (default 3.0), e.g. if the molecule placement is a bit unsure and you want to refine it in there.

Now, just save the new map by

save mapZone.mrc #3

If you try multiple volume zones, you might need to correct the id.

Best

Christian

Dear colleagues,

I have a cryo-em map and a model.

I would like to extract some the cryo-em density around certain fitted model.

For example I have Chl molecule fitted into the correspondent cryo-em density.

And I want to extract this certain Chl only out of the whole structure.

How can I do that?

Kind regards,

Dmitry
