NAME

gmx-bundle - Analyze bundles of axes, e.g., helices

SYNOPSIS

gmx bundle [ -f [<.xtc/.trr/...>] ] [ -s [<.tpr/.gro/...>] ] [ -n [<.ndx>] ]
[ -ol [<.xvg>] ] [ -od [<.xvg>] ] [ -oz [<.xvg>] ]
[ -ot [<.xvg>] ] [ -otr [<.xvg>] ] [ -otl [<.xvg>] ]
[ -ok [<.xvg>] ] [ -okr [<.xvg>] ] [ -okl [<.xvg>] ]
[ -oa [<.pdb>] ] [ -b <time> ] [ -e <time> ] [ -dt <time> ]
[ -tu <enum> ] [ -xvg <enum> ] [ -na <int> ] [ -[no]z ]

DESCRIPTION

gmx bundle analyzes bundles of axes. The axes can be for instance helix axes. The program reads two index groups and divides both of them in -na parts. The centers of mass of these parts define the tops and bottoms of the axes. Several quantities are written to file: the axis length, the distance and the z-shift of the axis mid-points with respect to the average center of all axes, the total tilt, the radial tilt and the lateral tilt with respect to the average axis.

With options -ok , -okr and -okl the total, radial and lateral kinks of the axes are plotted. An extra index group of kink atoms is required, which is also divided into -na parts. The kink angle is defined as the angle between the kink-top and the bottom-kink vectors.

With option -oa the top, mid (or kink when -ok is set) and bottom points of each axis are written to a .pdb file each frame. The residue numbers correspond to the axis numbers. When viewing this file with Rasmol, use the command line option -nmrpdb , and type set axis true to display the reference axis.
