Bartholomeus,

Your question seems to be essentially the same as one asked on the ccp4bb last year. Here is the answer to that question.

maybe unexpected, but MAMA actually does this. make a
quick and dirty mask around your molecule, expand a
couple of times, contract a couple of times (to fill
cavities etc) - then use the ATom_fit command; see

Dear PyMol community,

During analyzing the water structure of a protein I was wondering if PyMol
is capable to select buried water molecules. Since the surface waters occupy
clefts it would be nice to see if there is a regular distribution inside of
the protein as well.

So is it possible to make a selection of buried water molecules?

I imagine something in a way like 'water without distance to
surface-object'. But so far I didn't have yet such a deep dive into the
sophisticated selection capabilities of PyMol and would be lost here. The
problem I see arising would be that the surface object is present (as
residues) even in protein's interior and make a correct selection
impossible.

Greetings,
Bartholomeus
