[Chimera-users] Helical Parameter estimate using Chimera

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Reja,
There is a “measure symmetry” command but it is somewhat limited.  

"Check each specified volume data set (map) for cyclic, dihedral, tetrahedral, octahedral, and icosahedral symmetries in standard coordinate systems. Helical symmetry can be considered if approximate parameters are supplied.”

For command syntax and further details:

I hope this helps,
Elaine
