How to Create a New Selector:

- NOTE: Command is equivalent to Control on Windows
- Command (⌘) + Click selects individual residues, and can be used to begin discontiguous regions.
- Shift + Click selects all residues between the last selection and the residue clicked. If there are no selected residues, shift + click will not do anything
3.) Open the Selectors panel.
4.) If you wish to rename the selector, click “Selector 1”, and then type in the new name.

How to Apply a Selector
1.) Click anywhere on your selector that is not one of the buttons to the right to apply it to the loaded pose(s) in the viewer.
