lipid_order_parameters module¶

Code author: Niklaus Johner <niklaus.johner@a3.epfl.ch>

This module contains functions to calculate lipid order parameters.

AnalyzeMolecularOrderParameters(t, lipids, aname_list, return_average=True)[source]¶: This function calculates the order parameter for each successive triplet of atoms for each lipid over a trajectory. The order parameter is calculated from the angle between the director vectors between two successive pairs of atoms. Inputs: t : Trajectory lipids : EntityView containing the lipids to be analyzed aname_list: An ordered list of atom names. An order parameter is calculated for each successive triple of atoms
