Hi,

Is it possible to rename a representation on the GUI in vmd? For example,
> can I rename a selection "resid 300 to 328" to "helix M2" for easier
> reference?

Have a look at the atomselect
macros<http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/current/ug/node120.html>.
They are single word macros only, so you would be forced to use helixM2.

try

atomselect macro helixM2 "resid 300 to 328"

then you can use helixM2 in any atomselect expressions.

Best regards,
Ajasja
