Sounds like a virtual screeen.

Hello Norman

This would work for one ligand and would be ideal if I could control the atom labeling up stream from my work. I have hundreds of ligands and unfortunately they do not keep the same atom labels.

Given the fact that atom names are unique within a residue, why not use atom
names for the selection?
