Dear All,
I have computed the rotation of a helix from its Ca-atoms using g_helixorient program. But, I am unable to interpret the results. There are 16 columns for all X Y Z rotations listed in the output. How can I obtain the mean rotation, and which column I should consider for plotting the helix rotation angles for my studies. Few columns of the output files is pasted below and the rotation.xvg file is attached here.
Thanking you
Sincerely
Bikash
