hi all ,

i want to plot a graph for Enthalpy and Entropy with respect to frames or time scale on 1 DCD file is it possible or not ?
and 2ndly how can i calculate Enthalpy energy on every frame forexample if i take 1000 frames then it also calculate 1000 energies of Enthalpy.
hope i clear my point. i also attached a paper in which enthalpy and entropy graph is plotted. i exactly want to plot graph like that.
Best regards,
Ayesha Kanwal

> i know i really getting too much time from your side but you still guided me in every aspect. As my supervisor said that he will give me prepared DCD files and you only have to put it into the MMPBSA.py to visualize the the results . and then you have to put just MMPBSA.py in your tool on whcih i am working my work is to just embed MMPBSA.py in my tool but how can i do this ? this is the basic senario on my side and could not fixed it at all.
> is there any source of MMPBSA.py that can i use for embedding in my tool as my whole work of programming is in python. Or am i going in a write way?
> that's why i was not focusing on other things and just focusing on MMPBSA.py my supervisor did not help me in any aspect he just say keep searching. there is no one who can help me in this regard i hope that these comments may be helpful for me to tell you what is really going here and you can understand my situation in a better way. you can also give me other suggestion if am going wrong . i am doing my project totally on my own. your suggestion would be very helpful for me
> and i am now learning the basics which you had sent me in the previous mail. your words are very helping for me.
