DESCRIPTION
g_cluster can cluster structures with several different methods.
Distances between structures can be determined from a trajectory or
read from an XPM matrix file with the -dm option. RMS deviation after
fitting or RMS deviation of atom-pair distances can be used to define
the distance between structures.
single linkage: add a structure to a cluster when its distance to any
element of the cluster is less than cutoff.
Jarvis Patrick: add a structure to a cluster when this structure and a
structure in the cluster have each other as neighbors and they have a
least P neighbors in common. The neighbors of a structure are the M
closest structures or all structures within cutoff.
Monte Carlo: reorder the RMSD matrix using Monte Carlo.
diagonalization: diagonalize the RMSD matrix.
gromos: use algorithm as described in Daura et al. ( Angew. Chem.
Int. Ed. 1999, 38, pp 236-240). Count number of neighbors using
cut-off, take structure with largest number of neighbors with all its
neighbors as cluster and eleminate it from the pool of clusters. Repeat
for remaining structures in pool.
When the clustering algorithm assigns each structure to exactly one
cluster (single linkage, Jarvis Patrick and gromos) and a trajectory
file is supplied, the structure with the smallest average distance to
the others or the average structure or all structures for each cluster
will be written to a trajectory file. When writing all structures,
separate numbered files are made for each cluster.
Two output files are always written:
-o writes the RMSD values in the upper left half of the matrix and a
graphical depiction of the clusters in the lower right half When
-minstruct = 1 the graphical depiction is black when two structures are
in the same cluster. When -minstruct 1 different colors will be used
for each cluster.
-g writes information on the options used and a detailed list of all
clusters and their members.
Additionally, a number of optional output files can be written:
-dist writes the RMSD distribution.
-ev writes the eigenvectors of the RMSD matrix diagonalization.
-sz writes the cluster sizes.
-tr writes a matrix of the number transitions between cluster pairs.
-ntr writes the total number of transitions to or from each cluster.
-clid writes the cluster number as a function of time.
-cl writes average (with option -av) or central structure of each
cluster or writes numbered files with cluster members for a selected
set of clusters (with option -wcl, depends on -nst and -rmsmin).
