[Chimera-users] How to select solvent molecule by residue number ?

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Marek,
Without an example, I could only suggest trying something like

select :515.water
or
select :515 & solvent

If that doesn't work, I would need an example file (could send to just me if you don't want to send to the whole list).

Best,
Elaine
