I don't know about Turbo Frodo, but in Coot you can move single atoms
with Ctrl-left-mouse click and drag in Rotate/Translate mode, Regularize
and Real Space Refine.

There is no way to move a fragment of selected atoms (other than
single atoms). This is the second most frequently asked question,
in fact.

If I wanted to rotate atoms round a bond, I'd use Edit Chi Angles.

Hmm...
