Dear Sir,

Thank you very much for your immediate responce.
In order for my text file to succeed it should have
the following format :

a C1 C2 C3 C4
a C5 C6 C7 C7
.
.
.
q

The first line says that we want the atoms with names
C1 C2 C3 C4 (depending on the names according to one's
system).
The last line is also very important because is says
to the make_ndx command to save and quit (something
also that I hadn't included in my file and as a result
the command was running without exiting, yet with the
'a' in front I saw that it had created the indexes I
wanted).

The output for the first three quadraplets is the
following :

[ C1_C4_C7_C10 ]
   1    4    7   10  456  459  462  465  911  914  917

6832 6835 6838 6841

From the online gromacs manual the output I think
should be :
[ C1_C4_C7_C10 ]
1 4 7 10 456 459 462 465
   911  914  917  920
   ...
   ... and so on
Is this really necessary?

Index files do not use whitespace to delimit subgroups of indices. You're getting 64 indices because you have 16 identical polymers and you're asking make_ndx for a set than spans across residues. I expect that in asking for "quadruplets" g_angle requires that they be in separate index groups, but I've never used g_angle. Try your above input file after adding commands to restrict the atom selection to only one of the polymers and then try g_angle again.

Mark

I tried to calculate the dihedral distribution for the
first quadraplet and it was calculated without any
error.Can I choose all the quadraplets after the
command :

g_angle -f traj.xtc -s topol.tpr -n index_created.ndx
-b 0 -e (last frame) -type dihedral -od output.xvg

Thank you once again,
Nikos
