[gmx-users] Regarding cosine content

[Tsjerk Wassenaar]

Hi Bipin,

It seems one of the proteins is taking longer to reach an equilibrium.
Maybe it is undergoing a conformational change?
Did you calculate the principal components per protein, or for the
joint trajectories? It would have been better to echo the commands you
used on the list, because it might result in a different
interpretation. I also made some comments on the list a short while
ago regarding the interpretation of projections and cosine content.
Maybe they can help you form a picture of what is happening :)

Hope it helps,

Tsjerk
