[gmx-users] Concoord-ED

[Tsjerk Wassenaar]

Hi Ruben,

This depends a bit on what you want to see. If you project the 
trajectory of part of the protein on the eigenvectors of the whole 
protein, you will see how this part participates in the collective 
motions of the whole thing, whereas constructing the covariance matrix 
on part of the protein and diagonalizing that, will only reveal 
collective motions of that part without showing how these are connected 
to the rest of the protein.

Cheers,

Tsjerk
