[gmx-users] Hi...

[Navratna Vajpai]

As suggested by you I tried using the g_angle. But got tucked. It  
asks for a .ndx file. I tried making it using mk_angndx but gave me  
an error when i used the option -type phi-psi. Although it worked  
well when I used the option dihedral instead of phi-psi. The .ndx  
file has strange nomenclature which i didn't followed.
[ Phi=180.0_2_33.5 ] or [ Phi=0.0_3_3.77 ]
Please suggest.

As you said problem with the analysis program g_rama. I looked for  
g_rama as well as g_chi .. its mentioned in the g_chi option that the  
phi psi calculation are different from the conventional calculations.  
Instead of C'(i-1)-Ni-CAi-C'i , H-N-CA-C' is used and similarly its  
different for the psi as well. But it also states that it is  
different from the g_rama. I was wondering what other atoms are taken  
for the phi-psi calculations?

Best regards
Nav
