[chimerax-users] Rotating/moving a chain to a different site

[Lohry, David]

Hello!

I am working with a protein dimer with DNA from a crystal structure. The dimer is composed of 2 chains (chain A and chain B)

I would like to be able to place one of the chains on a different region of DNA and at a slightly different position. The only tool that I could find was the Movement Mouse Mode in Chimera original.

Is there a way to do this a bit more mathematically (keeping the chain in tact)? Move 50 angstroms in the x direction, rotate chain by 30 degrees, etc .

Also, I need it to update the actual coordinates in the PDB when saved so it can't be something that just affects the visual output.

Thank you!
