Dear ChimeraX team,

Two selection-related questions:

  1. I'm looking for a way to combine multiple sequence based selections into one selection but I wasn't able to find a way to do this. The use case is, I have a lot of models that have these two proteins and I would like to use them together for superposition (via align command against Calphas). I would normally refer to them by chain ID, but here these are not consistently assigned so I need to use the sequence for selection.

  1. Is it possible to have a named, sequence-based selection that, when called, would perform the selection? This would save a lot of pain when writing scripts for sequence based selections.

Cheers,
EP
