[AMBER] How to interpret the results of ptraj/contacts

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

I could like to calculate the occurence of a protein residue within a 5 A cutoff of the drug at each time step. So,

I did the ptraj analysis as follows. Here is my input file.

 

==================================================

trajin xxx.mdcrd.gz

rms first :1-22.CA, :23-24.N1

contacts first byresidue out xxx distance 5.0 :1-22.CA, :23-24.N1
==================================================
 

I got two files xxx and xxx.native. What is the different between these two files in meaning?

 

I found both files are in the same format.

 

==================================================

#time residue0 residue1......residue24

1 2 5 11

2 3 6 21

3

4

..................

==================================================

 

What is the meaning of the numbers in the table? No of contact or residue nuber?

 

For the 2nd data in the 2nd row of the result table. Should I interpret residue0 at time 1 has two contacts or has closest contact with residue2?

 

Please kindly help.

 

Are there any method I can use to determine the no and indentity of contact residues with the drugs during the xxx.mdcrd trajectory?

 

Best regards,

 

Cat
