two questions relative to g_chi from the gmx-3.3.1 but gmx-4.0.2 uses similar code.

1) In the header of g_chi obtained using the -h option there is a "bug" that indicates that
the phi/psi angles are not calculated as the usual C(-)-N-CA-C and N-
CA-C-N(+) definitions
but H-N-CA-C and N-CA-C-O instead, respectively.
From both the code and the comparison of the values extracted with g_chi and VMD, it
seems that the actual correct definition is used.

From what I can recall of 3.3.1, the incorrect definitions are used and then there is a +180 that corrects for the strange definition.

Standard:
phi: C[i-1]-N-Ca-C
psi: N-Ca-C-N[i+1]

GROMACS g_chi:
phi: H-N-Ca-C minus 180deg
psi: N-Ca-C-O minus 180deg

This adds noise to your date. Use g_rama instread.

2) Which Karplus equation parameterization is used to calculated the Jcouplings?

no comment here.
