Ok, I think I see what's going on now. If I have two different groups in the ndx file, I can then select between them for the different purposes.

Sorry for the confusion.

Josh,

-n indicates that groups are to be read from the index file, rather
than using the standard groups. It's not related to what the group is
being used for.

Cheers,

Tsjerk

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
