Friends,
I loaded a amber trajectory in chimera. I simply want to calculate the distance between two atom in each frame in the traj. and write it to a text file. I used the per-frame utility in MD movie tool.
I chose interpret script as 'chimera commands'
substitute text 001-200 (frame 1 to 200)
In the script section i gave
distance :163@CA :166@CA
It reports to me the following in the reply log.
Distance between GLY 163 CA and ARG 166 CA: 5.083
Problem in per-frame script:
Distance monitor already exists
Problem in per-frame script:
Distance monitor already exists
Problem in per-frame script:
Distance monitor already exists
How should i actually use the perframe option so that the analysis will be done in each frame and reported output file will hve the distance values for every frame.
Thanks,
Bala
