Thank you very much Elaine !

Could we automatically select in Chimera-X all (residues?) lipids that cross the membrane back and forth ?

Yours sincerely

Enrico

Not really, other than hiding them entirely.

Of course you could just make a separate model that contains one frame and have them sit there without moving, but that seems like it would be misleading.

However, in this trajectory, I still observe very rapid lateral diffusion of certain lipids, which cross the entire system too quickly. Is there a way in ChimeraX to hide or suppress such motions for selected atomic groups (e.g., lipids)?
