Great, that seems to have fixed the problem.

Thanks for your help,

Dan

Hi,
Folmer is correct on both accounts. 
First, "select" was selecting across various states into one multistate 
selection. Then, the distance command was operating on the first state, which 
is its default behavior. So, replace 


    select asdf, 1MM2////CA w. 5 of 2kgi///22/CA

with 
    select asdf, 1MM2////CA w. 5 of 2kgi///22/CA, state=1


or whichever state you want and try again. (Or use Folmer's suggestion of 
splitting out the states.)
Second, please don't hind behind a pseudonym. We don't bite.


Cheers,
-- Jason

Hello,

I'm measuring the distance between certain residues in an alignment and I've 
noticed a discrepancy in the selections returned by the "select within command" 
and the actual distances measured to the atoms returned by the selection.  I 
was wondering if maybe somebody knew where I was going wrong.



When I run the following commands

> fetch 1MM2
> fetch 2kgi
> align 2kgi, 1MM2
> select asdf, 1MM2////CA w. 5 of 2kgi///22/CA
> iterate asdf, print(resi + " " + resn + " " + name + " " + 
> str(cmd.distance("tmp", "2kgi///22/CA", "1MM2///" + resi + "/CA")))



I get this output:

24 CYS CA 5.15101623535
25 ASP CA 3.34501266479
26 THR CA 6.03605747223
47 GLU CA 3.80576062202
48 TRP CA 3.85521435738
49 LEU CA 4.28281402588

I'm just a little confused about why atoms that are further than 5 angstroms 
away from the atom I specified in the select command are returned.  Is there 
some difference in the way "select within" and "cmd.distance", or have a 
confused some of the commands?



Any suggestions are appreciated
