[AMBER] Question regarding PCA analysis.

Dear Sir/Madam,
 
After running PCA, I got two files (xxx.pev and xxx.ppj). I could like to ask if I want to calculate % of total protein motions described by the first eigenvector, what should I do? What is the meaning of the numbers in these two files?


With reference to previous answers of the related question, I know in the xxx.pev file:

 

the first line" Eigenvectorfile: COVAR" is the tilte

the second line "1695 = number of atoms * 3"

 

However, I still cannot figure out what is 73.10704 42.51491.....0.0009, they are not in the decending order. What is the first eigenvector and eigenvalue in this analysis? I want to calculate the % of motion described by the first eigenvector, does it equal to [73.10704 / sum (73.10704......0.0009)]*100%

 

Then, what is the mean of the values in xxx.ppj files?


Best regards & many thanks,
 
Cat
