[phenixbb] measuring the angle between two DNA duplexes

[李翔]

Hi Pavel,

Thanks a lot for the reply! I think it will be helpful for the guys work
with DNA like me. If I remember right, in Pymol there is a way to measure
the angles for alpha helices and it should very similar to calculate the
angles for DNA duplexes. But there is not a way to do it. It will great if
PHENIX can do the measurement like this.

Sincerely,
Xiang
