Hi All,

I would like to plot dihedral angles of a protein over a trajectory, but I can't seem to get any of the analysis programs to work for me.

For example, > g_dih -f confout_mod.pdb


        Reading file topol.tpr, VERSION 3.1.4 (single precision)
        Found 314 phi-psi combinations
        Fatal error: Dihedral around 19,21 not found in topology



Alternatively, when I run g_angle I get the following error:

        > g_angle -f confout.gro -n h_arl2.ndx -of


Fatal error: number of index elements not multiple of 3, these can not be angle tripletswhen I run g_dih


you need to add the -type flag


I suspect that there are two reasons why these programs aren't working for me:

(1) I'm using AMBER force field (ffamber99) ports for GROMACS (http://folding.stanford.edu/ffamber/) so the residue names and hydrogen atom names are not the same as for other FF typically used for GROMACS. However, even when I change the residue names and remove all hydrogens to be consistent with standard GROMACS FF, I still get exactly the same error as before when using the 'g_dih' program. ( I verified that the residue and atom names were consistent with other GROMACS FF by using pdb2gmx on the modified PDB file.)


g_dih is gromos specific. sorry.


(2) I don't run 'g_dih' or 'g-angle' on a trajectory, but rather on a PDB file that represents a single snapshot corresponding to the simulation output (confout.gro). I have run 'g_dih' on a trajectory (.trr) file, but I get the same error as above. I would prefer to use these programs on a trajectory, but I'm afraid that the use of a non-standard FF (and corresponding atypical residue and H atom names) precludes me from doing this.

Does anybody know of a way around this?

Thanks,
Vanessa
