Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to select atoms (or residues) from a
protein based on a ligand that is not part of the protein? For example,
I have a protein structure (as molecule 0) with an empty cavity and I
read in a docked ligand (as molecule 1) and I would like to select
protein residues in a 6 Å sphere around the ligand. If this is not
possible, is there a command to merge the ligand to the protein structure?

This subject might have been discussed recently on the list but I could
not find it in the archives.

Regards,

Sampo
