Dear All,

I am a newbie using GROMACS and I am just going throu my first sims. I have one question regarding the output of g_helix. Using this command get a value for the "Ellipticity at 222 nm according to Hirst and Brooks" however this value is in nm (per time frame) and for 100% a-helices it shows positive values (instead of the typical negative values. I have read the paper from Hirst and Brooks, however I don understant how can one correlate the values from GROMACS with experimental ellipticity (values in mdeg and more negative when the helical content increases)

PS: I found a similar question in this newsletter, however there was no reply...
Check the routine ellipticity in src/tools/hxprops.c
Right now what is plotted is the number of helical residues. There is also a magic number w in the data. If you have the Hirst and Brooks paper handy I'm sure you can fix the routine. Please send me back the corrected code.


Thanks

Afonso
