What is the meaning of the last field — the one in curly brackets -- that 
describes the symmetry transformation of a given molecule in coot?


See Section 4.11 of Coot User Manual: "Symmetry"




 For example, for 
a given X Y Z, coot displays the symmetry transformation of an equivalent 
position as " -X, Y+1/2, Z + (0 -1 1) & { 1 0 1 }”.
 
Can the symmetry molecule be written like bellow by summing respective values?
 

 


In the general case, no. Move your molecule closer to the origin - so that the 
pre-translation is (0,0,0) - then coot will report "conventional" symmetry.

Paul.
