I'm trying to align alpha carbons of two structures, but I cant find a way to pass atom name argument to it, just the model number, and chain ID. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,
Ben

The documentation for pdbsuperpose indicates that only alpha carbon
atoms will be used in the linear transformation (see the Transf option.)
Passing an atom name would thus not appear to make sense.
