Dear all,
After putting a ideal double-strand DNA around density, I found it is very
hard to move both chain together. Using "rotate/translate zone" only results
in single chain movement. Is there a function in coot that can
rotate/translate a whole molecule in an easier way?
Oh dear, this is becoming a FAQ.
There is no good way to rotate a whole molecule (it's on the list, FYI).
You can of course do a translation using Move Molecule Here.
The work around (if you want rotation too) is to make a copy, move the
chain of the copy, then LSQ move the original to the moved copied chain
(ref). Not very elegant, but it will work.
Hope that helps,
Paul.
