There are two transform functions:

IMP.core.transform() applies a transformation to an XYZ particle.

IMP.atom.transform() applies a transformation to a Hierarchy.

I'm pretty sure you want the second one, since it will move all atoms (or other geometric objects) in the hierarchy (which is what you want) rather than just the declared "center" of the top-level hierarchy particle.
