Here is one script that I found that just prints out phi and psi values for
each residue over frames. Now, I further want to extend it to count the
number of residues that fall under the alpha helical, beta sheet regions in
every frame reading from their phi psi values generated by the following
script.
set mol [mol new "monom.psf" waitfor all]
mol addfile "monom.dcd" molid $mol waitfor all
set fp [ open "phi-psi.dat" w ]
set sel [ atomselect $mol "alpha" ]
set n [ molinfo $mol get numframes ]
for {set i 0 } { $i < $n } { incr i } {
$sel frame $i
$sel update
puts $fp "\# frame: $i"
set a [ $sel num ]
for {set j 0 } { $j < $a } { incr j } {
puts $fp "[expr $j + 1] [lindex [$sel get {resname phi psi}]
$j]"
}
}
$sel delete
close $fp
