A Gibbs sampling algorithm is proposed for generating random 3D rotating matrices \(R\) (i.e., \(R\in SO(3)\)) with probability density proportional to \( \exp\{-{1\over 2}\| A-R\| ^2_F\}\), where \(\| \cdot\| _F\) is the Frobenius norm and \(A\) is some fixed matrix. In fact, the Euler angles are simulated for the deviation of \(R\) from the most probable matrix. An application to the analysis of protein molecule structures is presented.
