You are right .. I have used g_rama for the phi-psi values. I will try g_angle as well. With -ve i meant negative values for the phi angle. 
As far as I understand negative phi values are sterically  not allowed. let me check with the g_angle as well. 
Thanks for the answer as well the reference. 
best regards

Sorry for not so explicitly explaining the things.. Here it goes
I have a nona peptide and I ran a MD of 20ns using OPLS-AA force field. when I used the OPLS-AA the phi angles came out to be -ve for three of the amino acids. which is stericaly not allowed. But when I ran it using GROMOS I found all the phi-psi combinations with a negative phi value distribution. But now I am lost as you have said it works only for GROMOS like force field. Why?

problem in the anaysis program (assuming you used g_rama). please use g_angle.

and if that so I have got -ve phi distribution for the other phi-psi plots. My other question remained unanswered even now. Is there any way really to judge which force field is to be chosen for particular type of analysis?
Best regards Thanks


what do you mean with -ve ?

force field can be evaluated in many ways.

Start by checking this paper and references in them:

Hydration thermodynamic properties of amino Acid analogues: a systematic comparison of biomolecular force fields and water models.
