[PyMOL] creating selections from electron density map

2012-03-13 Thread Corey Fugate
I have a pdb file and the corresponding electron density map. I can copy a selection from the pdb to make an independent object. I'd like to be able to select the electron density map for individual residues and ligands in my pdb file so I can view them away from all the other protein

[PyMOL] POV-ray

select chain A and ss s worked great. I didn't know to put the 'and' there. Thanks! On Sat, Dec 31, 2011 at 7:53 PM, Takanori Nakane wrote: > Happy new year, > >  >      I have a structure of a protein composed of two monomers A and B. >  > I want to sel

I have a structure of a protein composed of two monomers A and B. I want to select the beta sheets in monomer A only. I know I can select all beta sheets with, "select ss s", but I haven't been able to find a simple way to make a selection within a selection.
