Thank you Justin,

that makes sense, thank you for help. However, I am struggling with the rest, due to lacking documentation & examples. Like Alex said, this web-page http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/How-tos/Dihedral_PCA is outdated, but there is no new version of it available... Or at least I am not finding it (and I have noticed that people on the list have asked questions similar to mine, but there were no answers to any of my questions, sadly).

mk_angndx -s h3_md.tpr -n h3_ANGLE.ndx -type dihedral

is what I now have done, and my next steps should be the following, I guess,

trjconv -s h3_md.tpr -f dangle.trr -o resized.gro -n covar.ndx -e 0

but I do not have a trr file because mk_angndx does not generate it (unlike the old documentation command angle) and again, my tpr file contains waters, not just the molecule of interest that I have in my .gro file. I also do not understand the difference between the dangle.ndx file and covar.ndx file... What is resized.gro? It would be really helpful to write out those explanations in documentation and perhaps give a more realistic example because this really becomes frustrating.

Thanks for your time & help, it is very much appreciated.

Thanks Justin,

but I did use this command, which is supposed to be dihedral:

g_angle -f h3_nowater.gro -n h3_ANGLE.ndx -or h3_ANGLE.trr -type dihedral


Sure, but g_angle is only going to give you the options presented to it in the index file. If those groups were created incorrectly (note my comments were about mk_angndx, not g_angle) then you have to create them properly. You can't get dihedrals from valence angles :)

tried the new syntax, below the output of g_angle, which did not get any

These are Urey-Bradley angles with the given equilibrium angles and force constants. If you're using mk_angndx to create the index group, you want
"-type dihedral" instead of "-type angle" (which is the default).

I think you might be referring to the 2010 version of the online manual ( http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/How-tos/Dihedral_PCA), which is pretty outdated. A lot of syntax seems to be changing fairly rapidly, so хрень
like this is to be expected. ;)
The current manual points to gmx angle, gmx covar and, gmx anaeig for
covariance analysis, and for those the updated help pages are separate:

Dear Gromacs users,

The documentation on Dihedral PCA analysis is confusing.

Firstly, the links are redirecting to the main gromacs page which does not help because one needs to search for the specific commands from there.

Secondly, -s option does not work in step 2: invalid command line argument
"-s".

Thirdly, my tpr file contains water which I do not want to include in the
analysis, how can I change that?

.ndx file output produced by mk_angndx is a mess- first line, for example,
is [UB_th=108.4_297.062f]

I need a small number of dihedrals, so I could write the file myself but there again is no clear explanation how to do it: the [foo] 1 2 3 4 example could be expanded- do I use "dihedrals" instead of foo? Or filename? Or
molecule name?

Finally, I would really appreciate it if someone could give an explanation or a clear example of how this works, for a simple system or a protein,
because documentation is unclear to me.

Kind regards,
Anna
