Dear UCSF ChimeraX Support Team, My name is Rashmi, and I am currently working on molecular docking studies as part of my research. I have been using UCSF ChimeraX version 1.8 for visualizing and analyzing protein structures. I am facing difficulties in performing the following tasks related to identifying interacting residues between chains A and B within 4 angstroms, similar to what I have previously done in PyMOL: 1. Select residues in chain A that are within 4 angstroms of chain B: select interactA, byres ((chain A) within 4 of (chain B)) 2. Select residues in chain B that are within 4 angstroms of chain A: select interactB, byres ((chain B) within 4 of (chain A)) 3. Combine the selections for interacting residues: select interaction_residues, interactA or interactB 4. Show interacting residues in stick representation and color them yellow: show sticks, interaction_residuescolor yellow, interaction_residues Despite attempting various commands and exploring the graphical user interface, I have been unable to achieve the desired results using UCSF ChimeraX. Could you please provide guidance on the correct commands or steps to accomplish this task in ChimeraX? Any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated, as I have a pending deadline for my project. Thank you very much for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response. Best regards, Rashmi
