Actually it is pretty easy: Here is the log of pdbset
[ccp4@roo job_55]$ pdbset xyzin part.pdb ... Logical name: XYZIN File name: part.pdb PDB file is being opened on unit 1 for INPUT.

Coordinates will be transformed as follows: ( 0.714610 -0.613092 0.336824 ) ( x ) ( 0.000 ) ( 0.633718 0.771281 0.059391 ) ( y ) + ( 0.000 ) ( -0.296198 0.171010 0.939693 ) ( z ) ( 0.000 ) .... Of course you still have to worry about the orthogonalisation code used for the SELFROT search. polarrfn tells you what is chosen For triclinic, orthorhombic ext the choice is usually Z || c* X || a and Y chosen to make an orthogonal set But for monoclinic it is often set Z || b* X || a and Y chosen to make an orthogonal set Eleanor On 18 May 2015 at 18:57, Chen Zhao <c.z...@yale.edu> wrote: > Sorry for the spaming...
