Re: [PyMOL] Rotate protein to align principal axes

[#YEO J. <JYEO1@e.ntu.edu.sg>]

Hi Jared,

Thank you very much for your information. However, it seems that orient only changes the viewpoint, may I know whether it would possible to change the coordinates accordingly and save it into a pdb?

Best Regards,
Jingjie

Hi Jingjie -

The `orient<http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Orient>` command does this, although you can't specify which axis.  However, when combined with `turn<http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Turn>` or `rotate<http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Rotate>`, you can get the molecule aligned in whichever orientation you prefer.  E.g:

orient myprotein
turn x, 90
turn y, -90

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Jared

Dear Users,

May I know whether there are any methods in pymol to rotate a protein such that it's longest principal axis is in a particular direction, for instance aligned to the x-axis?

Best Regards,
Jingjie
