Hi Spyros, This can be done pretty easily in PyMOL. Please check out the following:
Plane Wizard: * -- http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Plane_Wizard; BNI-tools Plane Wizard * -- http://sourceforge.net/projects/bni-tools/ Section 2.6 of the supplemental information to our PLoS paper * -- http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/PLoS You can use pseudoatom (http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Pseudoatom) to create three arbitrary points for the plane.
