There is a very useful functionality in Sybyl, whereby the user can "merge" a residue from one molecular area, into another molecular area. The residue then becomes a part of the latter moleculear area, without deleting it. I wonder whether there is such a functionality in PyMol.
As an example, I have created a new object, consisting of several residues that I have extracted from the active site of a protein (using the create command). I then deleted these residues from the original object (active site of protein). I now want to merge an additional residue from the active site into the ligand object, and delete the residue from the active site, but without deleting the ligand object. Any assistance on this matter would be appreciated.
