[Chimera-users] Question about selection...

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Yasser,
if you want to generally select all singleton atoms (atoms not bonded to other atoms), you could use this command:

sel @/!bonds

this is an example of specification by attribute, described here:

I hope this helps,
Elaine

Mostly, the single atom is an heteroatom and i select it with :/isHet, but sometimes this atom is a protein atom with the ATOM field and then, the :/isHet selection doesn't work...
