GMX-CHI(1) GROMACS GMX-CHI(1) NAME gmx-chi - Calculate everything you want to know about chi and other di- hedrals SYNOPSIS gmx chi [-s [_.gro/.g96/..._]] [-f [_.xtc/.trr/..._]] [-ss [_.dat_]] [-o [_.xvg_]] [-p [_.pdb_]] [-jc [_.xvg_]] [-corr [_.xvg_]] [-g [_.log_]] [-ot [_.xvg_]] [-oh [_.xvg_]] [-rt [_.xvg_]] [-cp [_.xvg_]] [-b _time_] [-e _time_] [-dt _time_] [-[no]w] [-xvg _enum_] [-r0 _int_] [-[no]phi] [-[no]psi] [-[no]omega] [-[no]rama] [-[no]viol] [-[no]periodic] [-[no]all] [-[no]rad] [-[no]shift] [-binwidth _int_] [-core_rotamer _real_] [-maxchi _enum_] [-[no]normhisto] [-[no]ramomega] [-bfact _real_] [-[no]chi_prod] [-[no]HChi] [-bmax _real_] [-acflen _int_] [-[no]normalize] [-P _enum_] [-fitfn _enum_] [-beginfit _real_] [-endfit _real_] DESCRIPTION gmx chi computes phi, psi, omega, and chi dihedrals for all your amino acid backbone and sidechains. It can compute dihedral angle as a func- tion of time, and as histogram distributions. The distributions (histo-(dihedral)(RESIDUE).xvg) are cumulative over all residues of each type. If option -corr is given, the program will calculate dihedral autocor- relation functions. The function used is C(t) = <cos(chi(tau)) cos(chi(tau+t))>. The use of cosines rather than angles themselves, re- solves the problem of periodicity. (Van der Spoel & Berendsen (1997), Biophys. J. 72, 2032-2041). Separate files for each dihedral of each residue (corr(dihedral)(RESIDUE)(nresnr).xvg) are output, as well as a file containing the information for all residues (argument of -corr). With option -all, the angles themselves as a function of time for each residue are printed to separate files (dihedral)(RESIDUE)(nresnr).xvg. These can be in radians or degrees. A log file (argument -g) is also written. This contains o information about the number of residues of each type. o The NMR ^3J coupling constants from the Karplus equation. o a table for each residue of the number of transitions between ro- tamers per nanosecond, and the order parameter S^2 of each dihe- dral. o a table for each residue of the rotamer occupancy. All rotamers are taken as 3-fold, except for omega and chi dihedrals to planar groups (i.e. chi_2 of aromatics, Asp and Asn; chi_3 of Glu and Gln; and chi_4 of Arg), which are 2-fold. arotamer 0a means that the dihedral was not in the core region of each rotamer. The width of the core region can be set with -core_rotamer The S^2 order parameters are also output to an .xvg file (argument -o ) and optionally as a .pdb file with the S^2 values as B-factor (argument -p). The total number of rotamer transitions per timestep (argument -ot), the number of transitions per rotamer (argument -rt), and the ^3J couplings (argument -jc), can also be written to .xvg files. Note that the analysis of rotamer transitions assumes that the supplied trajec- tory frames are equally spaced in time. If -chi_prod is set (and -maxchi > 0), cumulative rotamers, e.g. 1+9(chi_1-1)+3(chi_2-1)+ (chi_3-1) (if the residue has three 3-fold di- hedrals and -maxchi >= 3) are calculated. As before, if any dihedral is not in the core region, the rotamer is taken to be 0. The occupancies of these cumulative rotamers (starting with rotamer 0) are written to the file that is the argument of -cp, and if the -all flag is given, the rotamers as functions of time are written to chiprod- uct(RESIDUE)(nresnr).xvg and their occupancies to histo-chiprod- uct(RESIDUE)(nresnr).xvg. The option -r generates a contour plot of the average omega angle as a function of the phi and psi angles, that is, in a Ramachandran plot the average omega angle is plotted using color coding.

Typically several hundred files are output. o phi and psi dihedrals are calculated in a non-standard way, using H-N-CA-C for phi instead of C(-)-N-CA-C, and N-CA-C-O for psi instead of N-CA-C-N(+). This causes (usually small) discrepancies with the output of other tools like gmx rama. o -r0 option does not work properly o Rotamers with multiplicity 2 are printed in chi.log as if they had multiplicity 3, with the 3rd (g(+)) always having probability 0 SEE ALSO gmx(1) More information about GROMACS is available at <- http://www.gromacs.org/>.
