In this connection I like to know how symmetry (in degrees and translation) is calculated between two or more molecules in the asymmetric unit (A.U.). Suppose if I download a PDB then I like to know the symmetry axis and center coordinate of symmetry axis between two or more molecules in A.U.

Thanks

        Jiamu Du,

        If you have the rotation matrix
        a11 a12 a13
        a21 a22 a23
        a31 a32 a33

        then

        (a11 + a22 + a33 - 1) / 2

        is the cosine of the angle you're looking for.

        HTH,

        Kay
