Hi Luca,

"So, I was wondering if there is a way to represent the whole trajectory as
a sausage plot, like the ones usually used for NMR."

Yes, there is! This is done through vmd. You need to load a trajectory file
(dcd), add labels to the bonds, angles, torsions etc. that you want to
monitor and then have them exported to a graph as as function of the time
stamp, The best way to do this is with a tcl script. I will email you an
example script once I am at my work pc.

Best,
Aaron
