title: Software news and updates. Carma: a molecular dynamics analysis program.
abstract: A computer program has been developed to aid the analysis of molecular dynamics trajectories. The program is tuned for macromolecular large-scale problems and supports features such as removal of global translations-rotations of the solute, calculation of average distance maps and their corresponding standard deviations, calculation of the variance-covariance and cross-correlation matrices, and principal component analysis of trajectories with the added ability to create artificial trajectories based on selected eigenvectors. Limited graphics (trajectory viewing) capabilities are also available.
