oh cool. I have gromacs version 4.4 so my protein will be on the x
axis by default and to orient the long axis of protein along z axis
then I have to editconf it and then rotate the final structure to 90
degrees along y axis, right? reply will be highly appreciated


Try it and see. You learn more by doing, and anyway, it takes about 10 seconds to run editconf, instead of waiting for a reply seeking affirmation.

Dear All,

I am following the tutorial given by justin and have question
regarding the orientation of protein. Tutorial says that orient the
protein along z axis using editconf -princ command followed by the
rotation along y axis. My question is that when I use the editconf
-princ command, does it automatically orient the protein along z axis
because i gave the following command and I wasn't sure if I am correct
or not, the command is: editconf -f protein.gro -princ -o
protein_z.gro

It depends on your Gromacs version.  As stated in the tutorial:

"The .pdb file was oriented along the z-axis using editconf -princ, followed
by a rotation about the y axis. Note that in Gromacs-3.3.x, the -princ
option oriented the long axis of the structure (in this case, the helix
axis) along the z-axis by default, but this option has changed as of
Gromacs-4.0.4, which orients the long axis along the x-axis. If you want to
skip the construction of this peptide, the properly oriented structure can
be found here."

Please correct me if I am wrong and also what do you mean when you say
followed by the rotation along the y axis, by how much angle do i need
to rotate?

What angle do the coordinate axes make with one another? :)

Thanks,

Sunny
