[Chimera-users] Changing distance between two atoms

[Prathvi Singh]

Hi Elaine,

I have a PDB file which has two serine residues: SER10.A and SER20.A. The
distance between their sidechain O-atoms (OG atoms) is 8.925Å.

I want to bring the sidechain O-atom of SER10.A closer to the sidechain
O-atom of SER20.A along an imaginary line which passes through the
coordinates of these two atoms such that the distance between them gets
reduced to 4Å. If I am thinking right, this would also require shifting the
rest of the atoms of SER10.A towards SER 20.A in a similar manner. Is it
possible to achieve this in chimera? I am attaching a screenshot just
for reference.

Thanks anyways and regards
