[Chimera-users] removing side chains

[Matthew Dougherty]

I have a session that someone has given me.  It consists of 24  
monomers in two states, each monomer colored differently.
In the model panel I see only two IDs.

I need to do a morph showing just the ribbons.

Because the overall number of atoms is quite large, I want to strip  
off the side chains in order to reduce the computation.

Is there an easy way to do this?
Or do I have to go back to individual monomers, strip off the side  
chains, recolor, and recombine them, before morphing?

thanks, Matt
