Hi ALL,

I am using in calculating the distribution of a solvent around the COM
of a protein chain using g_rdf. When I plot the output file (attached)
I get a curve which increases first (from 1 to a value of about 2.5)
and then decreases to x-axis values ranging from 1 to 5. If I
understand correctly then x-axis values represent the radius of
calculation around the protein. right? It says "r". Whats its unit?

See chapter 2 of the manual.

And what does the y-axis values stand for? Can someone please explain
me the g_rdf plot attached here.
Thanks a lot in advance.

It means what the y-axis normally means in a distribution (or frequency) plot. The absolute magnitude of the values is unimportant, except inasmuch as they determine how the integral is interpreted (and vice-versa).
