OR:

load caffeine.xyz;
spin branch {N8} {C19} 50 # CH3 starts spinning around the N8-C19 bond

select connected(C19) and not N8
rotateSelected {N8} {C19} 30  # CH3 rotates 30 degrees around that bond

This second doesn't presume rotation about a bond. The two atoms, N8 and
C19, are simply defining an axis of rotation. That could be any two atoms or
any two points:

rotateSelected {0 0 0} {1 1 1} 30

or a defined axis and angle:

rotateSelected axisangle {1 1 1 30}

or, if an axis name is designated, make sure you use "molecular" to refer to
the molecular axis, not the window axes.

rotateSelected molecular x 30

If nature does not answer first what we want,
it is better to take what answer we get.
