[Chimera-users] Problem with nucleotide objects settings for 1d86

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Saverio,
If you are trying to get a ladder rung that goes across the base pair, you would have to select both residues in the base pair.  E.g. in this case the base pair is 20.b with 5.a.  So you would need something like

command:  select :5.a,20.b

... and then use the menu like you did, or another command:

nuc side ladder sel

I hope this helps,
Elaine
