3DNA with twist and rise calculated w.r.t c1'

[thenmalar]

 Hi Xiang,

   I am wondering whether it is possible to get a 3DNA version which has the twist and rise calculated with respect to C1' atoms of the base pair.

Thanks in advance,
Thenmalar

Try 'cehs' instead of 'analyze'. Does it provide what you want?

Hi,

  I am looking for something like the following that was available in the earlier version of 3DNA:


Global parameters based on C1'-C1' vectors:

disp.: displacement of the middle C1'-C1' point from the helix
angle: inclination between C1'-C1' vector and helix (subtracted from 90)
twist: helical twist angle between consecutive C1'-C1' vectors
rise:  helical rise by projection of the vector connecting consecutive
       C1'-C1' middle points onto the helical axis

     bp       disp.    angle     twist      rise
   1 C-G      5.09     -8.41     41.13      3.65


Thanks,

Thanks for clarifying your question. The info you asked for is still available in 3DNA output from 'analyze' as shown below for 355d/bdl084:
