CCL: About the software to calculate Ring Puckering parameters



 Sent to CCL by: Daniel Roe [daniel.r.roe|a|gmail.com]
 Hi,
 You can use the 'pucker' command from the MD analysis program CPPTRAJ
 (available here: https://github.com/Amber-MD/cpptraj , or as part of
 AmberTools: https://ambermd.org/AmberTools.php ) to calculate ring
 puckering using either the method of Cremer & Pople or Altona &
 Sundaralingam. The input would look something like:
 parm <topology file>
 trajin <trajectory file>
 pucker p1 :1*C1’ :1*C2’ :1*C3’ :1*C4’ :1*O4’
 cremer out pucker.dat
 run
 See the cpptraj manual
 (https://jenkins.jasonswails.com/job/amber-github/job/cpptraj/job/master/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/doc/CpptrajManual.pdf)
 for full details.
 Hope this helps,
 -Dan
