Hi Chun Po Fung, There's a disulfide bond between residues 535 and 547 in that structure, so there is no way to rotate the backbone bonds of residues 543/544 without breaking a bond somewhere. To do the rotation you will to delete some bond, possibly that disulfide bond I mentioned (and maybe others -- I didn't do an exhaustive examination of the structure). --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab

Hello
I have recently tried to use the bond rotation feature of Chimera X (Windows 10), and I have not been able to get it to work.
I have tried the Bond rotation button on the toolbar, and the torsion command to no avail.
The bond rotation button does not seem to do anything even when I click and drag with right click.
The Torsion command states that my bond “is part of a ring/cycle and cannot be rotated” or “To set torsion, middle two atoms (/A ARG 543 N C) must be bonded;they aren't”
I want to ask how do I use this function to rotate upon a simple amide bond.
I am not sure am I just selecting the wrong atoms/bonds or is the function just locked for this PDB.
The PDB file I am using is 7Y4P and I am trying to rotate about residues 543-544.
I have also tried to do it in normal Chimera’s rotation command with no results.
Thank you any advice would be welcome.
Regards, Chun Po Fung
