[Chimera-users] Select atom by serial number.

[Elaine Meng]

Hi JD,
You are using the correct specifications - both of your examples  
should work.  I tested both approaches in Chimera 1.2304 on Mac OSX  
and they worked correctly.  We'll have to look into your specific  
version/platform and get back to you.  If you want, you could send me  
the PDB file you are using so I could test if there is some issue  
specific to that structure.  To be clear: the serial number is the  
number shown in the column after ATOM (or HETATM) in the PDB file,  
regardless of what order the atoms are really in.  That is, if the  
first ATOM has 2 in that column, its serial number is 2 and not 1.
Best,
Elaine
