[Chimera-users] Select close residues by name

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Marco,
You can use the main Chimera menu: Select... Sequence.  However, there is no command.

With the dialog opened from the menu, youcan enter the exact sequence, such as KAYFPG, or a Prosite pattern as explained here:

I hope this helps,
Elaine
