Many thanks for all the help !
Just to add, I also found chimera really easy to process output data.

Hi,

Just to add to Jason's excellent reply, you actually can define custom
dihedral types with the 'multidihedral' command using the 'dihtype'
keyword:

[dihtype <name>:<a0>:<a1>:<a2>:<a3>[:<offset>] ...]
                Offset -2=<a0><a1> in previous res, -1=<a0> in previous res,
                        0=All <aX> in single res,
                        1=<a3> in next res, 2=<a2><a3> in next res.

For example, to search for a dihedral type named chi1 using atoms N,
CA, CB, and CG:

multidihedral dihtype chi1:N:CA:CB:CG out custom.dat
