Definition
Primitive definition of base pair opening for the A:B base pair defined as a dihedral angle between three vectors: base A vector (C and D points), helical axis vector (A and B points), and base B vector (E and F points). This CV should provide the same value as CV:DIH2 but with the different order of atom groups.
PBC note: The minimum-image convention is applied to vectors |AB|, |CD|, and |EF| only if the fenable_pbc option is activated. The convention is not used to calculate the center of mass. It is therefore required that atoms within a group are either covalently bound or are part of complex that will not be separated or reimaged during a simulation.
