I am running "Principal Components Analysis (PCA)" for my protein at three different temperatures using "g_covar_mpi -s XXXXX.tpr -f XXXXXX.xtc".
The results I am getting are :
At 300 K:
(1) Trace of the covariance matrix: 14.966 (nm^2)
(2) Sum of the eigenvalues: 14.966 (nm^2)
At 350 K:
(1) Trace of the covariance matrix: 26.4201 (nm^2)
(2) Sum of the eigenvalues: 26.42 (nm^2)
At 375 K:
(1) Trace of the covariance matrix: 11.1512 (nm^2)
(2) Sum of the eigenvalues: 11.1512 (nm^2).
Can anyone explain this output? I need a proper answer. Does this mean that "At 375 K, Trace of the covariance matrix is lesser than other temperatures. So the protein is better and stable at this temperature??
Thanks
