Leigh,
Get_dihedral can do what you need -- I think the problem is that you
need to be more narrow in your atom selections. Otherwise, 9/C will match
every atom named "C", in every residue "9", and in every protein loaded.
With two proteins loaded:
load prot1.pdb
load prot2.pdb
You'll need to restrict each atom selection to just one of the two proteins:
get_dihedral prot1///9/C, prot1///10/N, prot1///10/CA, prot1///10/C
Cheers,
Warren
