[PyMOL] translating and rotating protein in space

[Vanessa O. <vok...@st...>]

Hi all,

I would like to translate and rotate a protein in pymol such that the 
pdb coordinates place the center at a specific atom in the pdb 
structure.  For example,  if the atom of interest has the coordinates 
[14.911 23.457 1.534], then I would the pdb coordinates to be [0 0 0].

I've tried to use the "translate" keyword from the command line:

 >> translate [-14.911 -23.457 -1.534]

However I get the following error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "C:\Program Files\DeLano 
Scientific\PyMOL/modules\pymol\parser.py", line 188, in parse
     result=apply(kw[nest][0],args[nest],kw_args[nest])
   File "C:\Program Files\DeLano 
Scientific\PyMOL/modules\pymol\editing.py", line 1126, in translate
     vector = [float(vector[0]),float(vector[1]),float(vector[2])]




Any help out there?

Muchos Gracias,
Vanessa
