You need to specify the object in the atom spec above. If your object is called "obj1", then: PyMOL>get_dihedral obj1///9/C, obj1///10/N, obj1///10/CA, obj1///10/C should work. Or using the other atom specification syntax for those that find it clearer, if more verbose: PyMOL>get_dihedral obj1 & i. 9 & n. c, obj1 & i. 10 & n. n, obj1 & i. 10 & n. ca, obj1 & i. 10 & n. c Cheers, Rob -- Robert L.
