#Use the ''Contacts'' tool in FirstGlance.
#Change target selection to ''Residues/Groups''.
#Click on something small to select it as a "target", such as a ligand, or a single amino acid.
#Click the link to ''Show atoms contacting target''.
#Click ''Center contacts''.
#Uncheck ''Backbones''.
#Zoom in (and click ''Return to Contacts'' if necessary).
#Uncheck all categories of non-covalent bonds.
#Check ''hydrogen-bonded non-water''. (Review [[Hydrogen_bonds#Donor_and_Acceptor_Atoms|hydrogen bonds]].)
#Double click the hydrogen bond donor and acceptor atoms to insert a distance monitor.
Describe the moiety you selected as a target. Include a  showing a hydrogen bond.
