[Chimera-users] dipoles

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Vatsala,

  I guess you are refering to the dipole.py script on the Chimera Python scripts web page:

	http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera/wiki/Scripts <http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera/wiki/Scripts>

Yes it should give the same answer for a molecule and a copy of that molecule rotated by 90 degrees.  Without have the structure and rotated PQR files I don’t know what is going wrong.

I then used a downloaded app called dimer.py to calculate the dipole moments of two of the same monomers rotated 90degrees.  Technically they should both give the same dipole as the structures align 100% but according to the PDB coordinates are only rotated relative to one another.  The dipole.py scipt is calculating them as two different dipoles.  Can you help me with this?
