25.2.1.13.2. NC symmetry operator conversions

| top | pdf |

The program O_TO_SP is provided to convert NC symmetry operators expressed in terms of a 3 × 3 rotation matrix and 1 × 3 translation vector to the PHASES-style spherical polar system described earlier. Although originally written to convert the transformation operator as defined in the O program (Jones et al., 1991[link]), the procedure works for any rotation or translation operator expressed in this form, provided that the operator is applicable to Cartesian coordinates in Å orthogonalized as in the Protein Data Bank (Bernstein et al., 1977[link]).
