[Chimera-users] Distances measurement for NMR ensemble

[Elaine Meng]

Hi James,
MD Movie plotting includes distances, angles, dihedrals, and/or RMSDs from the trajectory, and you can dump the values to a file.  See the “Plotting” section:
<http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/movie/framemovie.html>

You can open a single multiple-model PDB file (such as used for NMR ensembles) as a trajectory with MD Movie and then use the plotting.  PDB input as a trajectory does not require any other files.  See the “Startup and Input” section of the link above.

I hope this helps,
Elaine
