[Chimera-users] Selecting certain atoms with exception

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Kelvin,
You could do it in two commands, which may be easier conceptually:

select :trp
~sel :285

To do it in a single command, you’d use something like this (logical “and not”):

select :trp &  ~  :285

I hope this helps,
Elaine
