Yes, "zoom (resi 25 and name CA)" should do the trick. You can specify an
additional buffer space around the selection ("zoom (resi 25 and CA),2" for
example). If you have multiple chains and molecules, you will have to make
your selection more specific
("zoom (protein and chain A and resi 25 and name CA)" for example). There are
many abbreviations for long selections. Type "help selections" for more
information.
