I simulated a 600 a.a receptor containing two separate 300 a.a domains in complex with three different ligands. I want to calculate and compare the collective motion of each domain in these three different systems using gmx covar and gmx anaeig.
What I do is that defining my group of interest using gmx make_ndx, then fit least-square on one of the domains and calculate the covariance matrix for whole the receptor. Then, I use the achieved data to calculate PCA using gmx anaeig.
Is my approach physically relevant?
I would appreciate it if you would give me your opinion.
