[gmx-users] Principal Components Analysis in Gromacs

[Thomas Evangelidis]

Hi Tsjerk,

Thanks for all the clarifications about PCA you make on the mailing list! I
have a question about the commandlines you wrote. Why do you use the .tpr
file with the "-s" flag? Is it because you want to compare the
mass-wheighted covariance matrices? I use to calculate the covariance
matrices by giving to g_covar a .pdb file with the "-s" flag and then
calculate the RMSIP without giving any structure file. I guess no masses
are used in that covariance analysis, right? Do you recommend using atom
masses for PCA in general?

Thanks in advance for any help.
Thomas
