Could you please give more detail why g_rama program works only for
GROMOS like force field? To my understanding, the reason to get
different values of phi/psi by using g_rama or g_angle is that the
definition of phi/psi in g_rama is not in a conventional way. If we
define phi/psi in the same way as g_rama, I believe g_angle will give
the same answer. No matter which force field is used, these two methods
will give different values. Is my understanding correct?


All the best!
