Hello Justin In brief, you cannot do what you want in Jmol. Jmol uses the atom coordinates in the file, so if you load several files in the same window you cannot move them separately (well, there are the recent translateSelected and rotateSelected commands, so maybe you can, but it is not a very versatile movement and these are not frequently used, so you will have to find out by yourself)
Latest versions of Rasmol can do that (no applet version, just application). Another thing you can do is to insert 3 applets in a web page, and load one file into each. Then you have independent movement on each molecule. To achieve what you want in a single applet (but still without independent rotation of each single molecule) you would need to combine the 3 files into one and edit it so that each molecule gets new coordinates. This sort of thing can be done e.g. in Accelrys Discovery Studio Visualizer. Then, save back the result into a new pdb file wwhich you would open in Jmol. More powerful software like DeepView will let you do the same and also do the alignment of the molecules for you, although it takes some effort to learn how to do that. Hope you can find a solution ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
