Re: [PyMOL] How to select an atom of a particular state

[Jared S. <jar...@co...>]

Hi Cavi - 

This should do it:

	select delta, resi 11 and resn ARG and name CD and state 76

or, using a selection macro:

	select delta, ARG`11/CD and state 76

If you want to show all the states simultaneously to highlight differences from state 76, you can also use:

	set all_states, 1

Hope that helps,

Cheers,
Jared

Hello everyone!

I have a pdb file of a protein structure solved by NMR. It consists of 120 states/models/conformations depending on which term you prefer. Pymol refers to them as states.

My question is, if I want to select atom 'CD' of residue number 11 (which is an arginine) of state 76, how can I go about it?
I have been able to select the CD atoms of all arginine residues shown in their various states using these commands:
select delta, (r;arg) and (n;CD)   #selects all the CD atoms of arginine residues in their various states
show dots, delta                   #show them as dots
color red, delta                   #color the dots as red
Now I want to further refine my selection by highlighting one of these states as a sphere and of a different color. Please how can I do this?
My question again, how can I select all the CD atoms of arginine residues, choose only the CD atoms of one of the arginines (e.g arginine 11) and highlight one of the states (e.g. state 76) as a blue sphere.
Thank you in advance!

Best regards,
Cavi
