Hi,

Your 150 degree angle is in reality 30 degrees (180-30). This is a matter of defining the vector representing your helix vs. the direction of the z axis. If your vector points in the opposite direction of the z axis, then your angle will be between 90 and 180 degrees.

Hi ALL,

I am using g_angle to calculate the tilt of individual helix in a rhodopsin GPCR with respect to z axis. In the index file I am defining the top and bottom of each helix with first 4 and last 4 residues of that helix respectively. Strangely, I am getting the tilt angle of the odd helices like TM1, 3 and 5 in the range of 30 degrees, but the even helices TM2, 4 and 6 are giving value in the range of 150 degrees. But visual inspection of the simulation does not show such huge deviation. Why is it giving so? Am I doing anything wrong here? Any suggestion is welcome. Thanks a lot in advance.

Regards,

Anirban
