Hi Reza, You can use the Chimera transform molecule coordinates tool to rotate a molecule using Euler angles without displaying the Chimera graphical interface. You need a Python script to do this. I've attached an example script rotatepdb.py that you would run from a terminal window as follows: $ chimera --nogui rotatepdb.py The --nogui flag means that Chimera should not display any windows. Chimera is needed because it contains the code that reads and writes PDB files and applies transformation matrices. Tom
