1. Load PDB file [1b. Hide meshes & surfaces; just show lines, sticks, or ribbons] [1c. Unpick any picked atoms by clicking the "unpick" button.] 2. Select "3 Button Editing" from the Mouse menu 3. Shift-left-click-and-drag on any atom to rotate 4. Shift-middle-click-and-drag on any atom to translate 5. Ctrl-shift-middle-click on any atom to change the origin of rotation or use the "origin" command 6. Save your transformed structure to a PDB file. save test.pdb CTRL-Z will undo the last transformation CTRL-A will redo the last transformation Cheers, Warren
