[Chimera-users] Detecting residue from command line

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Francesco,
In the command line, ":" means residue number and the following "." 
indicates the chain ID.  You could select the residues with

select :0-521.water

if they are in the "water" chain, or use that same specification in 
many other commands, for example

color hot pink :0-521.water

Probably the most tricky thing is that :0-521 without specified chain 
ID would include residues in any chains with single-character IDs 
(A,B,C ...) but not the special chains "water" and "het"
