Thank you Justin. I tried with g_angle and it worked.It gave me some .xvg files such as angdist.xvg , angaver.xvg ,dihfrac.xvg ot dihtrans.xvg and I should read the manual more carefully and analyze the outputs. Thank you again for your patience.

Is that much correct? I've gotten lost a bit in this thread as to your intent, and as Mark pointed out, it's getting difficult to follow. If that is indeed the case, then Xavier gave you the answer already. Use g_angle on your starting structure, using an index group that specifies the appropriate atoms. The manual has clear explanations on how to do this measurement. I performed a similar calculation on an arbitrary structure I had around and it worked in less than 2 seconds. -Justin Quoting Behnoush Zare <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Dear Mark, > > Ofcourse I'm worth your and others time since I reffered to some text and > gromacs manuals as you and xavier suggest to me and I'm very appreciated.
