[Chimera-users] save only selected atoms to Mol2

[Elaine Meng]

Hello Anjali Setiya,
You can save a Mol2 file containing only the selected atoms with the "write" command. For example, if your structure is model #0 and you want to write a mol2 file named residue30.mol2 to your Desktop:

select :30
write selected format mol2  #0 ~/Desktop/residue30.mol2

See "write" command help including "selected" option:

I hope this helps,
Elaine

Can you give me an insight as to how to delete the remaining protein and save in the .mol2 format. That will be very helpful.
