Hi,

not certain to understand the question. In chimera, you can create axis (for example in alpha helix) or directly draw one and do the angle measurement between differents axis. I imagine that you can create the "same axis" in both of your monomer and measure the angle between these axis.

Hi All

I am interested to measure the symmetry axis of individual sub-unit (chain A & chain B) along with the symmetry axis of the heterdimer (AB). Each chain is also 2 fold axis, and I can measure by removing 1 chain and measure for the other and then combine all the symmetry axis in the 1 PDB file. Is there is a way to do it with out removing the either chain.

I'm not sure that I fully understood the question, but you could try Coot's superpose_with_atom_selection, where you can specify the residue selection for the superposition

e.g.

Calculate -> Scripting -> Python

superpose_with_atom_selection(0, 0, '//A/1-200', '//A/201-400', 1)

will produce output like this:
