Subject: Re: AMBER: mesure dihedral angle during MD

Hi, Julien

You can do it with a simple UNIX command awk. Assuming column 2 has the
torsion angle in your ptraj output file,

awk '{if($2 < 0){print $2 + 360}else{print $2}}' _your_ptraj_output_

or

awk '{$2>0?a=$2:a=$2+360;print a}' _your_ptraj_output_

You can replace _your_ptraj_output_ with your ptraj output filename.
