This is exactly the sort of thing NAB was originally designed to do.
Grab the Amber16 Reference manual (from
https://ambermd.org/Manuals.php),
and look at Sections 36.11 and 37.15. In brief, you would write a script
something like this:
getpdb (load a pdb file)
trans4 (to translate some atom to the origin)
rot4 (to rotate about some vector by some amount)
trans4 (optional, to undo the first translation)
putpdb (output the modified coordinates)
[Note: the NAB code is still in AmberTools21, but one has to visit the old
Manual to get the instructions.]
...good luck....dac
