I am wondering how to select molecules in Pymol. The system I am studying has an amide of interest (oleamide) in oil (At the moment just dodecane molecules). I have seen in the manual how to select individual elements, but is it possible to select either the Nitrogen or oxygen in my oleamide molecules, and then select all atoms which are bonded to this to therefore select the entire oleamide molecule.
Or is it possible to define a molecule by defining a chain of elements (e.g. define a C12H36 chain for dodecane). I have tried just using the mouse to select individual molecules but find it very difficult to do depending on where in my system a particular molecule is. I'm probably just being really stupid, but I couldn't see it in the manual or the wiki. Thanks.
