[gmx-users] Measuring dihedral energy of various selections

[David Mobley]

Maybe this is what someone is getting at in their answers, but you
COULD sort of "invert" the problem: Use mdrun -rerun to calculate the
energy of the system WITHOUT the dihedrals you are interested in (i.e.
by removing these). And then if you subtract the potential energies
for that from the original potential energies, you'll have the
dihedral potentials of interest.
