Thanks Giacomo
based on your suggestion, I figured it out how to
do it. I made it like the below script and it seems to be working however I
am getting kink in my helix. I don't know if its real or I am making any
mistake in defining the helical axis. for the axis definition, what should
be the vector? I am using measure inertia command in vmd and using the
vector that I am getting as it is. do I need to convert it to with respect
to the geometric centre of my helix. because I believe the vector I am
getting is in the context of origin. Do I need to normalize the vector ?
Thanks
Dhiraj
