Rotate Structures Panel

This panel enables you to rotate a set of protein structures (and associated objects) using the same rotation for each structure. The rotation matrix is determined by aligning the first structure to a reference structure using the protein structure alignment tool.

To open this panel: click the Tasks button and browse to Workspace Operations → Rotate All.
