Mauricio,
thanks a lot for your script
I tried it with my systems, but unfortunately I couldn't set my DNA with helical axes to be perpendicular to the horizon. 
So I just leave my my pictures as frame_mol does
Thank you for complicity
Bests!

Yes, I know that it is possible to rotate within any axis.. but I need to know/calculate an angle of rotation to make my pictures of DNA with the vertical (not bended) helical axis

Hi,
yes I have the concrete example (pdb file in attachments). I make pictures for my article. And I want all my structures to be with the vertical helical axis for the view. I use the script in win:

rebuild -block2 %1.par temp.alc
frame_mol -max -1,3 ref_frames.dat temp.alc temp2.alc
rotate_mol -r=rotz temp2.alc temp.alc
alc2img -al -s=18 temp.alc %1.ps

and I need to specify rotz file with "by rotation z "
How to calculate Z for my structures?

Hi,
Thank you for this great code which helps me a lot in my research!

My question is how to find the angle of rotation about z-axis to make the helical axis vertical in my pictures of DNA? (by rotation z -???)

Thanks
