i have an idea for checking the rotation on a specific segment,
u should be able to implement it on a larger scale by calculating the
mean and deviation or such:

for before simulation:
find a backbone carbon of interest C1.  find it's cordinate.
find an atom immediately attached to it.  find it's cordinate.
calculate the vectors in between.  (yes need math)

for after the simulation, do the same thing.

the two vectors should span a arc, which is ur degree of rotation of phi.

repeat for psy

anyways, the above is a lot of work, you might be able to find a
program that is rewritten to calculate psy and phi factors, which is
the degrees of rotation.  (my biochemistry is crude, so i apologize if
i used the wrong greek letter, but u get the idea)
