Re: atom selection error

A lot of the shorthand selection syntax like "protein" "nucleic",
"sidechain", and "backbone" are based on heuristics with the residue and
atom names - an adventurous user could probably find these in the source
code.

I would make your selection explicitly, since Martini probably breaks
the heuristics.
