[Chimera-users] Editing Question

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Kirk,
Looking at the information for 3ALQ at the RCSB:
<http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/explore/explore.do?structureId=3alq>

…I see that chains A-F are TNF and chains R-W are TNFR.  

There are multiple ways to skin a cat, but for example, you could delete all the TNF chains with command:

delete :.a-f

General documentation on command-line specification in Chimera:
<http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/frameatom_spec.html>

I hope this helps,
Elaine
