[gmx-users] discrepancy between ED motions and the MD motion

Hi Vijayan R.,
Eigenvectors are specific up to a sign. So it's not said the start will end
up as the negative extreme. It seems your interpolation just shows what
happens in reverse.
As a sidenote, do check whether it is a biologically relevant motion, or
merely relaxation.
Cheers,
Tsjerk

Hi all
I carried out a distance analysis between two domains with respect to time
based on the center of mass. Subsequently i also carried out a PCA based
essential dynamics to identify the global/biologically relevant motions.
The strange and inconsistent result i find here is
when i calculate the distance using the MD (progressive fitted) trajectory,
I find that the two domains of interest move apart with respect to time.
on the contrary a ED followed by a smoothed interpolation between the two
extreme motions revelas that the two domains move closer to each other in a
concerted fashion.
does any one has an explanation for this discrepancy between ED motions and
the MD motion ???
Thanking you in advance
Regards
Vijayan.R
