Give up trying to find out how to extract average structure,,
Issue #326
resolved
Hi guys,
first of all, this project is awesome! Despite of reading and re-reading Issue #223, i still can't figure out how to identify and extract a frame, in pdb format, which would be representative of certain cluster.
I really appreciate all possible help,,
Best regards,
Abe

Dear Professor Grant, thank yo very much. I was able, with your help, to extract the frame I concern. As you said, these is a curve of learning, and after 2 weeks, i'm much clear about the philosophy and tools you just implemented to R. Greetings from Mexico,, Abe

Don't give up Abe ;-) It is a step learning curve but well worth it in our opinion. Here is an example of a slightly long winded way to do what you are after. There are more efficient, shorter ways but they are probably not as easy to understand. Hope this helps...
As a sanity check you could view these Calpha only structures as 'tube' in VMD for example. Also you can check where it is in your PC space, for example:
Note that above we picked the frame closest to the mean group 1 coordinates in terms of RMSD but, depending on your application, you may want to do this in principal component space (which would be a less expensive calculation also).
