Hi Carsten,

Thanks for the help. I've tried variants of that selection and it works
great if there is only one ligand. Unfortunately it breaks down when there
are multiple ligands and they don't all fit the criteria. I'm surveying
almost half the PDB so these are all different proteins with different
binding sites and ligands. I was hoping for a way to get pymol to recognize
each individual ligand automatically by grouping common resids within the
non-solvent hetatm selection. Using the %s %(resi) seems to require an
explicit input.

I might be able to extract an explicit chain/resi designation for each file
from the het portion of the pdb header, though I'm not sure how to automate
this. I suppose it's back to the script repository for me.

Cheers,
Katherine
