How to get dihedral angles of the structure from XYZ cordinate file ?

12 December 2014 1 5K Report

i have only co-ordinates file of the structure. so i want to know more information about my structure like dihedral angle. how it can be done ?

Sandeep Singh

you can use DSSP software (http://swift.cmbi.ru.nl/gv/dssp/) to calculate phi and psi dihedral angles of every residue in a protein by giving input as PDB file which contains coordinates. If you have a file which has extension as .xyz then you need to convert it in PDB format.
