Thanks Hai,

That looks perfect, I will try it. Another question I had reading the
manual was whether the angle between two planes might be calculated
during dynamics as some sort of 0-weighted NMR restraint:

" rstwt(1)→rstwt(4) New as of Amber 10 (sander only), users may now
define a single restraint that is a function of multiple distance
restraints, called a "generalized distance coordinate" restraint. ... If
eight atoms are given in iat(1)..iat(8) and all weights are zero, the
restraint is a plane-plane angle restraint."

I'm not sure what this means, but if there's a way for me to get some
meaningful number that reflects the base/base angle when running sander
without applying an actual restraint, this would be even better than
having to run cpptraj.
