Old fashioned and basic, but why not just use the dot product cos (Diff) = l1 l2 +m1 m2 +n1 n2 where l m n are the direction cosines of the two rotation axes. The output of GESANT or LSQKAB give you the direction cosines. Any calculator will do the sum! Eleanor On 30 June 2017 at 03:06, Ge

Hi Vandra, For changes in a dimer when comparing two crystal forms, in addition to looking at the change in the NCS axis, you may want to consider the following software: DynDom S. Hayward, A. Kitao, H. J. C. Berendsen, "Model-Free Methods of Analyzing Domain Motions in Proteins from Simulation

Hi Vandna, Assuming you have two copies, chain A and B. In UCSF chimera: 1) open two copies of the pdb (model #0 and #1) 2) in command line, type: match #1:.B@CA #0:.A@CA showMatrix true Besides moving model #1 chain B to model #0 chain A, the match command also outputs the r

Hi every one , I am looking for a tool to perfectly determine the NCS axis. I have two forms of crystals where diamer is with NCS but on a comparison of both forms, it looks like NCS axis is little off when i superpose two forms, i would like to measure rotation or translat
