When prompted for only one group, that group is used for calculation and output.

xpm plot to see the secondary structure of the protein at those residues
of interest. Any suggestions on how we can increase the resolution of
dssp plot and enlarging the axis of residues?

Yes, use an .m2p file to adjust the matrix spacing. This was discussed several days ago.

By the way, what would the option -nice do here?


Likely nothing.  Nice levels are irrelevant for most tasks.

Justin,
I produced the index file based on your suggestion, but when I ran the
do_dssp, a completely different result was spit out comparing to what
the whole protein analysis had given. Any ideas on why that might have
happened?

That depends on what "completely different" means. I have no idea. If you're only analyzing a subset of the residues, you're going to get a discontinuous plot that's probably going to look a whole lot different from any analysis done on the whole protein. What's more, if you're only considering small fragments of the protein, then omitting surrounding residues from the analysis probably won't permit DSSP to find hydrogen bonding partners that are necessary to determine the correct secondary structure.

Hello, I want to check the secondary structure of protein at particular

at the make_ndx prompt makes the correct index file?
You can answer that yourself by looking at the resulting index file.

5 | r 1 | r 10-11 |r 14-17 | r 20-21 | r 26-32 | r 42 | r 45

To get these groups to merge, I think you probably need to do 5 & r 1 | ...

(Main chain atom of particular residues). regards,
