[gmx-users] Dihedral pca

[ruchi lohia]

Hi Pratibha

If you make the index file with only the backbone atoms the dangle.trr file
generated from

g_angle -f foo.xtc -s foo.tpr -n dangle.ndx -or dangle.trr -type dihedral

Gives you only the sine and cosine of backbone phi and psi dihedral angles
. You can check for it by converting your .trr  file to .gro using trjconv.

Hope it helps
Thanks

Please someone who has done dihedral pca can guide me to proceed further.
Waiting for reply.
