Dear Dr. Elaine Thanks for your help. I am able to draw the symmetry axis, and can you let me know how can I change the representation of the drawn vector, its color and diameter. and If I make another copy of the same vector how can I move the second vector to a particular axis a by given rotation angle.

Hi Jiri, As I understand it, you would need to open two separate copies of the structure, superimpose the two sets of atoms for which you want to see the axis (like A to B, or domain 1 of A to domain 2 of A), and then use command “measure rotation”. <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/ measure.html#rotation>
There are various different ways to superimpose sets of atoms as discussed here: <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/superposition.html>
I hope this helps, Elaine ---------- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Computer Graphics Lab (Chimera team) and Babbitt Lab Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

Hi All I am interested to measure the symmetry axis of individual sub-unit (chain A & chain B) along with the symmetry axis of the heterodimer (AB). Each chain has 2 domains and 2 fold rotations axis, and I can measure by removing 1 chain and measure for the other. Is there way to measure the inter-domain symmetry axis of the heterodimer molecule. best Jiri
