[gmx-users] g_mdmat truncation distance for contacts

[rajat desikan]

Hi All,
g_mdmat computes uses the truncation distance for residue contacts by
considering the minimum distance between residues. However, the papers I
referred to has a Calpha-Calpha or Cbeta-Cbeta cutoff of 10-12 angstrom
(default g_mdmat truncation criteria is 1.5 nm). Can anybody give heuristic
suggestions about the truncation distance value?

Thank you all for your time.

Regards,
