Hi all,
I am trying to understand what type of distance can be used with g_cluster?
In the manual, it is written that RMS deviation after fitting or RMS deviation of atom-pair distances can be used to define the distance between structures in the first paragraph.
However, in the "other options" part, two options are indicated for
-dista option, which indicates the type of distance that will be used with g_cluster. They are RMSD of distances or RMS deviation. Consequently, the information in the "first paragraph" does not coincide with that given in the "other options" part for -dista option.
Maybe I could not understand. Could anyone explain this in a clearer way,
please?
I agree that it is not very clear what is meant in the documentation,
and I have wondered myself what it means. This is one of the reasons
that the source code is made available.
I had a quick look, and "-dista yes" looks like it implements the "RMS
deviation of atom-pair distances" quoted above. That is, it forms an
atom-pair distance matrix for each structure in the trajectory, and then
does an all-against-all root-mean-square comparison of those matrices to
generate the structure comparison matrix for clustering. You'd be well
advised to verify that yourself. It's all in src/tools/gmx_cluster.c
