Calculates \(^3J\) coupling constants for a dihedral angle.
The J-coupling between two atoms is given by the Karplus relation:
\[ ^3J(\theta)=A\cos^2(\theta+\Delta\theta)+B\cos(\theta+\Delta\theta)+C \]
where \(A\), \(B\) and \(C\) are the Karplus parameters and \(\Delta\theta\) is an additional constant added on to the dihedral angle \(\theta\). The Karplus parameters are determined empirically and are dependent on the type of J-coupling.
This collective variable computes the J-couplings for a set of atoms defining a dihedral angle. You can specify the atoms involved using the MOLINFO notation. You can also specify the experimental couplings using the ADDCOUPLINGS flag and COUPLING keywords. These will be included in the output. You must choose the type of coupling using the type keyword, you can also supply custom Karplus parameters using TYPE=CUSTOM and the A, B, C and SHIFT keywords. You will need to make sure you are using the correct dihedral angle:
J-couplings can be used to calculate a Metainference score using the internal keyword DOSCORE and all the options of METAINFERENCE .
The names of the components in this action can be customized by the user in the actions input file. However, in addition to these customizable components the following quantities will always be output
| Quantity | Description |
| sigma | uncertainty parameter |
| sigmaMean | uncertainty in the mean estimate |
| acceptSigma | MC acceptance |
| j | the calculated J-coupling |
In addition the following quantities can be calculated by employing the keywords listed below
| Quantity | Keyword | Description |
| acceptScale | SCALEDATA | MC acceptance |
| weight | REWEIGHT | weights of the weighted average |
| biasDer | REWEIGHT | derivatives wrt the bias |
| scale | SCALEDATA | scale parameter |
| offset | ADDOFFSET | offset parameter |
| ftilde | GENERIC | ensemble average estimator |
| exp | ADDCOUPLINGS | the experimental J-coupling |
| ATOMS | the 4 atoms involved in each of the bonds for which you wish to calculate the J-coupling. Keywords like ATOMS1, ATOMS2, ATOMS3,... should be listed and one J-coupling will be calculated for each ATOMS keyword you specify. You can use multiple instances of this keyword i.e. ATOMS1, ATOMS2, ATOMS3... |

| ADDCOUPLINGS | ( default=off ) Set this flag if you want to have fixed components with the experimental values. |
| ARG | the input for this action is the scalar output from one or more other actions. The particular scalars that you will use are referenced using the label of the action. If the label appears on its own then it is assumed that the Action calculates a single scalar value. The value of this scalar is thus used as the input to this new action. If * or *.* appears the scalars calculated by all the proceding actions in the input file are taken. Some actions have multi-component outputs and each component of the output has a specific label. For example a DISTANCE action labelled dist may have three componets x, y and z. To take just the x component you should use dist.x, if you wish to take all three components then use dist.*.More information on the referencing of Actions can be found in the section of the manual on the PLUMED Getting Started. Scalar values can also be referenced using POSIX regular expressions as detailed in the section on Regular Expressions. To use this feature you you must compile PLUMED with the appropriate flag. You can use multiple instances of this keyword i.e. ARG1, ARG2, ARG3... |

In the following example we calculate the Ha-N J-coupling from a set of atoms involved in dihedral \(\psi\) angles in the peptide backbone. We also add the experimental datapoints and compute the correlation and other measures and finally print the results.
