Hi all,
I want to investigate the dynamics of monomers in a hexamer. Therefore, I would like to define a plane (or two vectors) for each monomer and calculate the angles of neighbouring monomer planes. I had a look at the ‘vector’ function where I can define a vector from centres of mass atom mask1 to atom mask2, which is not optimal in my case.
‘vector corrplane’ seems to be related since its description goes like this: “corrplane: This defines a vector perpendicular to the (least-squares best) plane through the atoms in <mask1>.”
What I actually want from this is the "(least-squares best) plane through the atoms in <mask1>”. In theory, I could rotate that vector back to be parallel with the plane again and define second vector by rotating this vector 90 degrees in the plane. I hope there is an easier solution.
Is there a way to get the plane from “vector corrplane"?
best
Martin
