Description
gmxmdmat makes distance matrices consisting of the smallest distance between residue pairs. With
-frames, these distance matrices can be stored in order to see differences in tertiary structure as a
function of time. If you choose your options unwisely, this may generate a large output file. By default,
only an averaged matrix over the whole trajectory is output. Also a count of the number of different
atomic contacts between residues over the whole trajectory can be made. The output can be processed with
gmxxpm2ps to make a PostScript (tm) plot.
