Dear Amber users and developers,
I have employed TREMD with the implicit solvent method previously described in a JACS paper from Nguyen et al. to study the conformation of a peptide of interest and I would like to use dpeaks clustering method from Rodriguez and Laio.
If I request the generation of representative structures with the "repout" commands, the index of the output goes from 0 to the number of clusters, which corresponds (according to the printed text) to the lowest density value to the highest density value. In other terms, from the less populated to cluster to the most "crowded" one.
Indeed, if I have understood correctly, the most populated cluster is the one with the highest density.
If I take a look at the summary file, the cluster with the lowest index seems to be the most populated one, since, according to the printed text, includes the higher frames fraction. It seems that there is discrepancy in the use of the indexes. My question is: who is right?
This is an example of the output:

But the summary file says:

3 739 0.018 8.296 2.512 8463 7.073
I use cpptraj V17.00
I have another question, which is more general: I would like to identify different populations using the 2N dihedral angles of the backbone. Is it possible to compute a distance between structures using them and not, e.g., alpha carbon atoms?
I thank you in advance for your support!
Best regards,
Tommaso
