Bala, Switch the mode in which the mouse is selecting from residues to atoms. Then click the atom and do Hide->Everything. (To switch modes find the word "Selecting" in the lower right hand side of the screen, click it until "Atoms" shows up.) Now the mouse selects only atoms.
Alternatively, I got just the DNA backbone to be visible (hiding all bases) by: # fetch and example PDB with DNA fetch 3gfi as cartoon zoom c. D # hide not the backbone hide everything, /////N1 Hope this helps, -- Jason > [PyMOL] undisplaying residues > From: Bala subramanian <bala.biophys...@gm...> - 2009-08-31 07:00 > Attachments: HTML-Email.html > Friends, > > I made a cartoon representation of a DNA. now i want to undisplay the base > and sugar of certain residues in the DNA.
