	In the "build your selection" box, you can select by group, sites, chains, residue types, residue numbers and chemical elements. For example, you could select all sulfur atoms in cysteine residues of chain B of the model by entering those specifications. The buttons below determine what happens to the selection you just built. You can use it as your new selection ("replace selection") or you can combine it with the previous selection in different ways ("add to selection", "remove from selection").		In the "build your selection" box, you can select by group, sites, chains, residue types, residue numbers and chemical elements. For example, you could select all sulfur atoms in cysteine residues of chain B of the model by entering those specifications (see input in picture above). The buttons below determine what happens to the selection you just built. You can use it as your new selection ("replace selection") or you can combine it with the previous selection in different ways ("add to selection", "remove from selection").

	Each input box allows you to specify certain parameters in order to best choose what to add or remove to/from your selection. There is an imaginary 'AND' (or intersection) connecting each input box (a Boolean AND), but an 'OR' (or union) connecting the chosen elements within each input box. What this means is that if you choose in the 'groups' box the items 'all protein' and 'dna' and in the 'limit to elements' box you type in 'C,O' and click "add to selection", then you will add to your selection all the carbon and oxygen atoms that are part of either the protein or the dna in your loaded file (it's like saying "(all protein OR dna) AND (carbon OR oxygen)" )		Each input box allows you to specify certain parameters in order to best choose what to add or remove to/from your selection.
