Hi Laura, Read here <http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Practical_Pymol_for_Beginners#Selecting_parts_of_an_object> how to select a single atom using the GUI. Or using the command line and the selection albegra <http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Selection_Algebra> do something like:
select mutant, resi 2 and name ca This will create a selection named mutant consisting on the alpha carbon of residue 2. Once the atom is selected you can choose the most convenient representation for you, like an sphere. Cheers, Osvaldo.
