Hi Alex, Tony's suggestion is excellent if you are trying to selected the entire connected fragment, but from the command you're currently using it seems like you are only trying to select the atoms directly bonded to the currently selected atom. If so, then this Python code will do that: from chimerax.atomic import selected_atoms selected_atoms(session).neighbors.selecteds = True If you put the above into a file whose name ends in .py (e.g. "sel-bonded.py"), then you can use ChimeraX's open command to open that file, which then runs the code. --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab

Hi! I want to select all covalently bonded atoms to my selected atom. Is this possible? Currently, I'm using the command
select @{atom_name}; select zone select 2
It works, but I'm worried about accidentally catching any stray unconnected atoms when doing this in batches of pdbs.
