Hi Chuck, PyMOL assumes your residues identifiers will be non-negative. Bad assumption. PyMOL parses the string "-50" as the range "0-50". This should be filed as a bug on the open-source tracker.
In the meantime, you will have to adjust all the identifiers in order to select. If -73 is the lowest number in the sequence in chain J then you can add 73 to add indices like this, # adjust the indices alter chain J, resi=str(int(resi)+73) # update the sequence sort Now, just add 73 when you select: select c. J and i. 0 Cheers, -- Jason On Thu, Apr 5, 2012 at 7:57 AM, chuck <chlang...@ucdavis.edu> wrote: > > In the 147bp nucleosome structure pdb1kx5 the DNA is a palindrome and > numbering of the resi(dues) starts a the center bp (74), so -73 to +73.
