Hi, I learnt that a dimer axis of symmetry is got by using matchmaker and then the rotation is measured from it. I would like to know the algorithm that is used to calculate the axis of symmetry and how exactly it is done if possible. Thank you. Regards, Kavya Shankar
Matchmaker does not calculate the axis of symmetry, it superimposes the chains that you tell it to superimpose, as described in the link I sent earler. Then measure rotation figures out the axis and angle relationship between the two copies, also as described. Elaine

Is that axis found by using a linear regression of some points that go through the center of the dimer and then is the direction of the axis found? On Monday, April 3, 2017, Elaine Meng <meng@cgl.ucsf.edu> wrote:
