Dear James: This is really the easiest and a very smart way to get around this problem. I generated a PDB only only my interest region, which serves to produce a mask encomprassing only this region. The last "Total" line in the output should be it. Everything is cool except that some terminal residues in my region is a little bit different from the complete PDB results, which I think should be due to changing of flag labels on the map grids around the terminal residues. Anyway, I think this issue has been solved based on your suggestion. Thanks a lot!
