Warren, I am trying to make these changes automatically. Essentially, I would like to have a script to make a movie where; First, I want to load pdb files that contain four molecules (A, A, B, and B). Initially, I what to hide all four molecules. Then show the dimer AA in the center of the screen. Have this dimer rotate around X. Then show a conformational change in this dimer where you hold one of the molecules (A) stationary, while you rotate the other molecule A in X by 100 degrees. After this is done, I then want to show one molecules of B on the left side and the other molecule B on the right side of the dimer of AA. Finally I want to show the molecule B's moving and docking with the dimer (AA) in its new conformation. Also, is it posible to make this movie showing electrostatic surface? Les
