Q: How do I use "torsion general"? | |||
A: Thanks for pointing out the lack of documentation on this. I'll make a note to | |||
add some. | |||
You need to click on the torsion-general icon, then click 4 atoms that describe | |||
the torsion - the first atom will be the base (non moving) part of the atom | |||
tree, on clicking the 4th atom a dialog will pop up with a "Reverse" button [1]. | |||
Move this dialog out of the way and then left mouse click and drag in the main | |||
window will rotate the moving/"top" part of the residue round the clicked atoms | |||
2 and 3. When you are happy, click "Accept". | |||
Window focus may be an issue - depending on your setting, the window manager may | |||
eat one of your clicks as you change focus between the dialog and the main | |||
graphics window (this I find annoying and there are instructions in the FAQ on | |||
how to turn that off for various systems). | |||
[1] which may not work in 0.6-pre (grumble/sigh/sorry). If it doesn't not work, | |||
the "Reverse" button should invert the moving and "base" part of the residue. | |||
