Hi Shoeib - It’s hard to say exactly what you need, because it will vary depending on your specific case.
If you’re looking for the change in a hinge angle between two structures of multi-domain proteins A and B, you can first superimpose domain 1 of B to domain 1 of A, get the matrix of B, superimpose domain 2 of B to domain 2 of A, get the second matrix, then use transformation.py<http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Transformations> to calculate the axis and angle of that transformation. Also see this thread http://sourceforge.net/p/pymol/mailman/message/25398209/ for more info. If it has a standard hinge definition, perhaps something like the elbow angle<http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Elbow_angle> of antibody Fab fragments, you may be able to calculate it directly from one structure, but, again, the details of that calculation will depend on your specific protein. Hope that helps.

I am not quite sure how to calculate "Center of mass" of protein and then calculating the hinge angle. Any help is appreciated.
