Description¶
gmx rmsdist
computes the root mean square deviation of atom distances,
which has the advantage that no fit is needed like in standard RMS
deviation as computed by gmx rms.
The reference structure is taken from the structure file.
The RMSD at time t is calculated as the RMS
of the differences in distance between atom-pairs in the reference
structure and the structure at time t.
gmx rmsdist
can also produce matrices of the rms distances, rms distances
scaled with the mean distance and the mean distances and matrices with
NMR averaged distances (1/r^3 and 1/r^6 averaging). Finally, lists
of atom pairs with 1/r^3 and 1/r^6 averaged distance below the
maximum distance (-max
, which will default to 0.6 in this case)
can be generated, by default averaging over equivalent hydrogens
(all triplets of hydrogens named *[123]). Additionally a list of
equivalent atoms can be supplied (-equiv
), each line containing
a set of equivalent atoms specified as residue number and name and
atom name; e.g.:
HB* 3 SER HB1 3 SER HB2
Residue and atom names must exactly match those in the structure file, including case. Specifying non-sequential atoms is undefined.
