Hi everyone,
I would like to measure the asphericity of a group of atoms. Base on
literature searching results, there are studies measure the
asphericity using the radius of gyration tensor, compute the
eigenvalues of this tensor, and use these eigenvalues to compute
asphericity (0<=delta =<1) (e.g., H. T. Tran, Biophysical Journal, 91,
2006 1868).
I?m wondering if anyone has done this before using the radius of gyration?
From my understanding, by using the g_gyration in Gromacs, I can
receive Rg and radius of the gyration about x, y, z axis (Rx, Ry, Rz)
where Rg = sqrt((Rx^2 + Ry^2 + Rz^2)*0.5).
Also, with the option ?moi, I get the moments of inertia Itot, I1, I2,
I2, where Itot= sqrt(I1+I2+I3), and I = mass*Rg^2
Is it possible to calculate the eigenvalues base on Rg or I values?
Any input is greatly appreciate,
Thanks,
Loan
