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
