Dear sir,
I was wondering if there was a way to manipulate independent objects in
Pymol. For example, is there a way to fix one object while rotating
another? This would be useful for manually docking two surfaces, or
creating a movie of a ligand binding to its binding site.
Thanks,
Michael
1. Load two objects
2. Put the mouse into "editing" mode.
3. Click "unpick" to clear the picked atom selections (if they exist).
4. To rotate, shift-left-click-and-drag on an atom.
5. To translate, shift-middle-click-and-drag on an atom.
Rotation occurs about the origin. You can change this
