Dear amber community,
   
  I have been trying to determine phase angles of pseudorotations for ribose sugar residues of a DNA-drug complex.
  I have read the Altona et al. JACS(1972),94,8295 paper cited in the ptraj_pucker section of the AMBER v8 manual.
  What I would like to know is whether or not the following ptraj input command is OK to determine the phase angles of ribose sugar residue 1 taking the dihedral angle about C2'-C3' as the bases and the O4' atom as the fifth atom to constitute a pseudorotational angle.
   
  Here is my ptraj input :
   
  traj.in dna.binpos
  pucker res1 :1.C1' :1.C2' :1.C3' :1.C4' :1.O4' out phaseangle.out time 0.2
   
   
   
  best regards,
   
  jenk
