Well, let me reply to myself.
I have been fiddling with some new functions in cpptraj. here is the one I
have recently noticed and tried, "sscalc".
The manual says "sscalc" is used to derive parameters for single stranded
nucleotides. I gave it a try as follows :

Here is the input I used

parm ../prmtop/mol.prmtop
trajin ../prod/md1.nctraj 1 1000 10
nastruct resmap ABC:U resrange 5,13,6,12,7,11 naout data_6-7 calcnohb
sscalc
run


and the output SS.data_6-7 is

       1 1041 5 -nan -nan -nan -nan
       -nan -nan
       1 5 6 -4.9264 0.5174 -2.6048 -61.2548
-21.7029 -10.6422
       1 6 7 3.6622 1.1374 -1.7702 6.5483
-28.2833 -33.2617
       1 7 11 2.3931 3.8955 5.5050 -53.9165
-59.4070 -122.6308
       1 11 12 -1.8505 1.7534 -3.1038 -42.2589
-4.3030 -1.2110
       1 12 13 -4.7211 1.6748 -3.4486 -58.7388
-3.2150 -1.0668


Unfortunately there is no headers describing the columns in the file. I
would appreciate it if an expert out there could address the columns
to ease-up data interpretation.
