Hi Michael,
simply load both molecules in the same frame, and change to Mouse/3
Button Editing Mode.
You have to select the molecule you want to translate/rotate by left
clicking on an atom of it.
Now, you have following options:
shift+LMB+mouse_movement := rotate this molecule around the selected atom
shift+MMB+mouse_movement := translate in x and y directions
shift+RMB+mouse_movement := translate in z direction.
Just play around with these combinations...

Hello,
how is it possible to independently rotate or translate two molecules
in pyMOL? I would like to display the interaction of two
macromolecules but to do so, I first have to adjust their position
relative to each other.
Do I have to use different frames for loading, then positioning each
in the desired way and finally display as "all states" or is there a
more convenient way to achieve this apparently simple task that I
have obviously overlooked?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Michael.
