[Chimera-users] Selection through bond and fragment naming

[Jean Didier Pie Marechal]

Hi, 

I have a system from which I only have xyz coordinates. What I would like to do is to define myself residue attribute on different fragments of the molecules. Could you tell me how (or if there is a way to ):

1. expand a selection to bonding atoms (i.e. I click on one atom and expand selection through one bond after each actions) This would be of the easiest way for me to select the fragments I want to.
2. set a residue attribute to the given selected fragment. I think I remember how to do so in scripting, but what is the command line to do so?

Kind regards, 

JD
