DESCRIPTION
This tool extracts dye dynamics from trajectory files. Currently, R and kappa2 between dyes is extracted for (F)RET simulations with assumed dipolar coupling as in the Foerster equation. It further allows the calculation of R(t) and kappa2(t), R and kappa2 histograms and averages, as well as the instantaneous FRET efficiency E(t) for a specified Foerster radius R_0 (switch -R0). The input dyes have to be whole (see res and mol pbc options in trjconv). The dye transition dipole moment has to be defined by at least a single atom pair, however multiple atom pairs can be provided in the index file. The distance R is calculated on the basis of the COMs of the given atom pairs. The -pbcdist option calculates distances to the nearest periodic image instead to the distance in the box. This works however only,for periodic boundaries in all 3 dimensions. The -norm option (area-) normalizes the histograms.
