Dear users and experts,
my question is about the results given by the program g_sgangle,
when I try to calculate the angles between the two vectors defined by 3
consecutive P atoms, on the DNA structure (a single gro structure), the result
is:
@ title "Angle between a_728_695 and a_695_662"
@ xaxis label "Time (ps)"
@ yaxis label "Angle (degrees)"
@TYPE xy
0 0.855195 31.2188
respectively time, angle and arccosine.
By literature is well known that viewing down the long axis of the DNA
molecule, the P atoms are around in circle, and it would be numerically
possible to calculate the angle between the two vector defined by 3 consecutive
P atoms. If I'm right it is: (180° - 32.3°)= 147.7. So the value given by
sg_angle is too low.
Where I'm wrong?
Many many thanks,
Anna
