Any rotation / translation commands? [feature request] [question]

[UnixJunkie]

Hello,

Is there a tool/command to translate the coordinates of a whole pdb?
E.g. by providing a 3D vector.

Same question for rotation?
E.g. by providing a 3D vector (the rotation axis), followed by an angle in radians.

Thanks!

Nothing like that unfortunately. But you should be able to do it easily, e.g. using PyMol

We don't have anything like that but we could add it since they'd be quite simple transformations. I can think of:

pdb_rotate.py 10,10,10,90   # rotate 90d around vector [10, 10, 10]
pdb_rotate.py x,90  # short-hand for rotate around x by 90d
pdb_translate.py 10,0,0  # translate 10A along X.

Would these work?
