[Chimera-users] Analysis of the contact maps from the MARTINI MD trajectory

update :-)

in addition to the previous question which is still actual I am
interesting in the clusterization of binding interfaces established
during MD e.g based on the position of one protein regarding another.

 For my case I have performed such clusterization from MD movie plugin
(which was based on current selection which was the atoms of smaller
protein) obtaining alot of overlapped clusters in case of smallest
step size and afew clusters increasing step size twisly. Is it
possible here to increase accuracy of the clusterization and to remove
some degrees of freedom which are not important for my case ? E.g to
pre-process trajectory using PCA before clusterization to discard
rotation translation of the system will be good option?
