_geom_hbond.distance_DA

Name:
_geom_hbond.distance_DA

Aliases:

_geom_hbond_distance_DA
_geom_hbond.dist_DA

Definition:

   
    The distance between the donor and acceptor atoms at the listed
    sites and accompanying symmetry operation codes.

Type: Real

Units: angstroms


The permitted range is 0.0 → infinity

Evaluation method:

    with g as geom_hbond
    l,s  =   g.atom_site_label_D, g.site_symmetry_D
    d_pos =   SymEquiv(s, _atom_site[l].fract_xyz)
    d_pos =  _atom_sites_Cartn_transform.matrix * d_pos
    l,s  =   g.atom_site_label_A,g.site_symmetry_A
    a_pos   =   SymEquiv(s, _atom_site[l].fract_xyz)
    a_pos   = _atom_sites_Cartn_transform.matrix * a_pos
    _geom_hbond.distance_DA =  Norm ( a_pos - d_pos )
