Hello everybody,
I want to delete some residues from a structure. (I mean that I want to
remove their coordinates, not only their representations). I have
selected a set of atoms :
set bad [atomselect top "resname POPC and within 2 of protein"]

I have tried to delete them
foreach segid [bad get segid] resid [bad get resid] {
delatom $segid $resid
}

And then, I have write my new PDB file
animate write pdb myfile.pdb

However, deleted residues are still present in myfile.pdb! Then, I have
tried this :
delres $bad

But I get an error message:
can't read "segid": no such variable

Can someone help me to delete these residues?

Thanks

Nicolas
