Hi Nicolas,

Yes, you just need to properly select that atom.

alter_state applies to more than just the x-coordinate.  Take the
following for example:

# make an alanine

frag ala

# add another state

frag ala

# alter the C-alpha position in state 2

alter_state 2, ala and n. CA, (x,y,z)=(1,1,1)

# go to state 2

set state, 2


Cheers,
