As suggested by you I tried using the g_angle. But got tucked. It asks for a .ndx file. I tried making it using mk_angndx but gave me an error when i used the option -type phi-psi. Although it worked well when I used the option dihedral instead of phi-psi. The .ndx file has strange nomenclature which i didn't followed. 
[ Phi=180.0_2_33.5 ] or [ Phi=0.0_3_3.77 ] 
Please suggest.

As you said problem with the analysis program g_rama. I looked for g_rama as well as g_chi .. its mentioned in the g_chi option that the phi psi calculation are different from the conventional calculations. Instead of C'(i-1)-Ni-CAi-C'i , H-N-CA-C' is used and similarly its different for the psi as well. But it also states that it is different from the g_rama. I was wondering what other atoms are taken for the phi-psi calculations?

Best regards

Sorry for not so explicitly explaining the things.. Here it goes
I have a nona peptide and I ran a MD of 20ns using OPLS-AA force field. when I used the OPLS-AA the phi angles came out to be -ve for three of the amino acids. which is stericaly not allowed. But when I ran it using GROMOS I found all the phi-psi combinations with a negative phi value distribution. But now I am lost as you have said it works only for GROMOS like force field. Why?

problem in the anaysis program (assuming you used g_rama). please use g_angle.

and if that so I have got -ve phi distribution for the other phi-psi plots. My other question remained unanswered even now. Is there any way really to judge which force field is to be chosen for particular type of analysis?
Best regards Thanks


what do you mean with -ve ?

force field can be evaluated in many ways.

Start by checking this paper and references in them:

Hydration thermodynamic properties of amino Acid analogues: a systematic comparison of biomolecular force fields and water models.
