Hi,

....A nice way to *visualize* helix/domain motions in a coarse-grained
sense is principal component
analysis. I believe the "quasih" program could do the job.
If the dominant contribution to overall structural variation
comes from helix and/or domain movement, one would see that
by 'jumps' of the first principal component.
That's rather qualitative, but nice and might serve as a starting point
for more 'in depth' analysis.
good luck
Andreas
