Nat, I'm working on a 'smart' alignment program, hence the rotation and translation part is a subset of the work. (The part that's written thus far is the Kabsch algorithm for optimal alignment of two sets of points of vectors).
I've uploaded the complete script, but what you want is the part towards the end, which answers your question, summarized here. (I'll skip the lesson and just post the code.) Given a 3x3 matrix, U; and, the translation vector, T2; and, a vector of 3D points, v; do: stored.mol2 = map(lambda \ v:[T2[0]+((v[0]*U[0][0])+(v[1]*U[1][0])+(v[2]*U[2][0])), \ T2[1]+((v[0]*U[0][1])+(v[1]*U[1][1])+(v[2]*U[2][1])), \ T2[2]+((v[0]*U[0][2])+(v[1]*U[1][2])+(v[2]*U[2][2]))], \ stored.mol2) Or FinalPoint = TranslationVector + (3DVector * 3x3RotationMatrix). If I recall correctly, you need to rotate the points to origin to avoid an affine operation.
