Hi, I'm sorry to insist in my question but if somebody could answer or just to send me some information or place to look for, I will be very thanked.

I imagine that these kinds of definitions are discussed in general texts on (computational or experimental) modelling of proteins, so that may be a good place to start with understanding what g_helixorient might be calculating.


GROMACS manual does not give any information but the way to use it. Nothing about the contain of files.

g_helixorient -h has some very basic information that could help. Otherwise, I'm sure the GROMACS team regret that the documentation is a bit lacking. Please do remember that GROMACS is a volunteer effort. Because our resources are finite, it won't always be able to be what we would all like it to be. The existence of the g_helixorient tool is already rather more than you paid for, too ;-). Do consider using other simulation packages' analysis tool sets - often trajectories can be inter-converted with little fuss. In extremis, please consider reading the code of src/tools/gmx_helixorient.c - but you'll need to be unafraid of the mathematics of 3D rotation!

Thanks again.

*Asunto:* g_helixorient question

Hello! My name's Javier Romero and I am a PhD student, writting from Barcelona. I am simulating an anphipatic helix of 23 residues, in the interface of a DPPC membrane and water. I am trying to measure the rotation of the helix using the tool "g_helixorient".

Could be somebody so kind to explain me the meaning of each kind of the files? I mean:

- Twist.
- Tilt.
- Tetha.
- Rotation.
- Rise.
- Radius.
- Helixaxis.
- Center.
- Bending.

Thanks in advance.
