I'm using 4.0.2. There are three optional ndx flags, -n -sub -fr. As far as I can tell, -n defines the output group (will also set the fit group as the same), -sub tells you the frame numbers for cutting the trajectory into smaller sections and -fr also has something to do with frames. If you don't define an .ndx file then it will ask you for a fit group, but what I want is to specify a particular set of atoms (not CA, backbone, etc).

Maybe I'm just missing something simple. . . .

Hi,

Which version of Gromacs are you using?
In 4.0, but I think also in 3.3, trjconv ask for both a fit and an output group.

Subject: [gmx-users] trjconv fit subset of atoms

I am trying to use trjconv to generate a new .xtc file in which all frames have been aligned based on a subset of atoms (e.g. I have a multi-domain protein and I want to align the trajectory to one of the domains). Using a standard .ndx file only outputs the atoms associated with the fitted domain. I was wondering if there is a straightforward way to do what I describe without having to hack trjconv?

Looking at the source for do_fit.c it looks like if I were to set the mass of atoms that I didn't want to use in the alignment to zero, then it might work, but I am generally trying to avoid having to generate a tpr file since I'm coming from the pdb/psf world.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Josh
