For me  that works between the three ligands only. I.e, with a large
z<20, all the three residues are highlighted, while with z<3 only the
residue with the specified residue number is highlighted. The number
of atoms at the bottom line correspond. For example, with z<20,  6
atoms, 3 bonds (three diatomic molecules)
