Peter, Assuming you have an existing selection
load my_prot.pdb select my_sel, resi 100 You can use the within/of operation... color cyan, my_prot within 15 of my_sel color red, my_prot within 10 of my_sel If you needed to exclude the region immediately around the selection, you could do so with color green, (my_prot within 7 of my_sel) and not (my_sel expand 4) By residue is also an option for coloring complete residues. color yellow, byres (my_prot within 7 of my_sel) Cheers, Warren -- mailto:war...@delsci.com Warren L.
