Hi, I have a ramachandran scatted plot (as shown below) obtained using the "gmx rama" command of gromacs. Can anyone suggest, how one can obtain a contour plot of the same? Any leads would be appreciated.
Normally you overlay the Phi/Psi points derived from your individual protein structures onto the contour representation derived from an analysis of a large number of structures, e.g. this method of doing so
Open the text file in software that supports contour plotting, like Origin or Gnuplot.
Choose the appropriate contour plotting options and settings, such as contour levels, color schemes, and labeling.
Generate the contour plot and save it in the desired format.
Contour plot will show the distribution of phi and psi angles in the protein structure, with different contour levels representing different probabilities of finding residues in a particular region of the Ramachandran plot.
