Hi all,

I'm sorry to bother you with this but I'm having a little syntax trouble.
I have a loaded pdb in VMD 1.8.1, consisting of a protein in a
bilayer. I wanted to pick out some of the lipids that need to be deleted out, but my
atomselect command doesn't seem to be right! Any ideas??

Thanks,

Gemma
