Hi,
The "pucker" atom selection query currently returns the Hill-Reilly
pucker value (a single value per ring). I will have to add a new
atom selection query to allow the Cremer-Pople pucker pucker
parameters to be queried within VMD. This will entail building a new
test version of the program, and I probably won't be able to get to it
until next week due to other demands on my time. Bernard, if you can
tell me what platform you are using, I can see about building you a new
test version of VMD that allows the Cremer-Pople pucker paramters to be
queried.
Cheers,
John Stone
