Re: [PyMOL] Rotation of entire helix

Hi Alex, You have a couple options. First, use the rotate command: # rotate the selected atoms 4.5 degrees about the x axis. rotate x, 4.5, (sele) If you specifically know the axis of rotation, supply it as a vector. Next, PyMOL can also do rotations about an axis defined by two picked atoms.

[PyMOL] Rotation of entire helix

Hi All, So I have a structure that's fully modeled, but I have one alpha helix that is turned in a non-optimal way. Is there anyway to "rotate" the entire helix along its barrel while keeping everything else fixed? The objective is to turn it such that a critical side chain that was facing inward
