Dear Mintu,

If I understand your scenario correctly, you are referring to a single structure where you want to get the relative inter-domain orientation within the one protein.

So, after having watched the Chimera tutorial movie linked in the previous answer (just out of curiosity) and then having tried that myself, I would say that the process is simpler in your case than for the example shown:

1. split your protein into two different models for the domains
2. MatchMaker
3. measure rotation #0 #1

By the way, if you are generally interested in domain matching and domain movement between different conformers of a protein - that is, usually from two (or sometimes more) distinct structures, you might want to have a look at the RAPIDO web-service as well:

http://webapps.embl-hamburg.de/rapido

This might be a useful tool in particular when the "domains" in terms of rigid parts of a structure are not obvious a priori.

Best regards,
Fabio

Dear All,
I am working with a protein containing tandem domains, connected with
3-4 residue linker. I want to calculate the relative
motion/orientation of one domain with respect to the hinge region as
well as with respect to the other domain. Both the domains have very
less seq. identity (<20%). Please suggest some web server to calculate
the same.

Thanks,

Mintu
