rgyr: Radius of Gyration

In bio3d: Biological Structure Analysis

Radius of Gyration

Description

Calculate the radius of gyration of coordinate sets.

Usage

rgyr(xyz, mass=NULL, ncore=1, nseg.scale=1)

Arguments

xyz	a numeric vector, matrix or list object with an xyz component, containing one or more coordinate sets.
mass	a numeric vector of atomic masses (unit a.m.u.), or a PDB object with masses stored in the "B-factor" column. If mass==NULL, all atoms are assumed carbon.
ncore	number of CPU cores used to do the calculation. ncore>1 requires package ‘parallel’ installed.
nseg.scale	split input data into specified number of segments prior to running multiple core calculation. See fit.xyz.

Details

Radius of gyration is a standard measure of overall structural change of macromolecules.

Value

Returns a numeric vector of radius of gyration.
