Hi Edward,
For dimers, unfortunately I don't have much advice I can give. The
only person who could we be the one who derives the correct
theoretical treatment of dimers in the future. You may have avoided
the issue though if you have a perfectly symmetrical dimer.
OK
It won't give much, but the bond vectors orientations are different
between two monomers. The superimposition is not perfect. But, as we
have discussed before on the list, it will not do anything for the
theoretical problem, if you indeed do have a problem. It will only
show you any small bond vector orientation artefacts.
OK
I am also unaware of any theoretical treatment. If you deposit your
dynamics data for your publication in the BMRB, via the relax export
functions, then this might open a door to allow a theoretician in the
future to use real data for solving this problem.
we will do so
As for solving the
problem now and you are 100% sure that this is not already solved,
unless you would like to dive into quite complex theory, then there is
nothing we can do. You could make a 1 line comment about the
deficiency in the manuscript, and make the statement that this is an
unsolved problem.
we will do so
Anyway, the perfect symmetry might mean that the diffusion tensor as
seen in the reference frame of each monomer is identical, so that the
bond vectors in each experience the same 5 global correlation times
and hence the standard analysis will work perfectly. If so, no
special theory is required.
OK got it.
Thanks,
Stefano
