Thanks Dr. Pettersen. This helped me figure out most of the things. The
last problem I had was with rotation of prolines. I found this thread
regarding the problem
http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/pipermail/chimera-users/2011-November/006938.html
which I hope will solve everything. Thanks for the help.

If you want strict control over which side of the phi/psi moves, then you are going to have to set up the bond rotation yourself rather than use res.phi/res/psi. You do this by finding the bond you want to rotate and then using the BondRotMgr module:

So if the residue is near the N terminus then the N-terminal part will move, if it's near the C terminus then the C-terminal side will move. Unless these changes are relative to some other structure, it shouldn't matter which side "moves"; the resulting conformation is the same either way.
