Mark is right g_dist can help you for this but there is no specific
tool calculating residence time ... I guess everyone dreams of
someone writing it :))

Dear Xavier,

my problem is the following:

I'm trying to figure out if a water molecule is present in a specific area around my protein and if so, which water molecule is that and how long does it stay in that place.

I think g_dist does this for a group containing a single water molecule. All you need to do write a script to iterate over each molecule, and then collate the statistics.

As you said, if I google residence time, here's the definition: Residence time (also known as removal time) is the average amount of time that a particle spends in a particular system.

But I don't find a tool to calculate this residence time in gromacs, so I'm trying to find a trick that can give me a pourcentage of the time of my simulation where a certain water molecule stays in the specific area of my protein.

Regards,
Carla

Dear Boafu,

This sounds like a great tool!

Carla, note that once you've ordered the water molecules you loose
the continuity of their trajectories ... that is because you order them in
function of their distance to the protein.

I am not sure the definition you give will give you the answer to the
residence time. you can google residence time and proteins and see
what come out :))

HI Carla,

I wrote a similar code, see attached. But it is written for my condition. You should modify it accordingly.

Dear gmx-users,

I used trjorder in order to study the water molecules that are closer than 5 A from my protein.

trjorder -s structure.tpr -f traj.xtc -n prot_water.ndx -o ordered.pdb -nshell nshell_.xvg -r 0.5 -b 0 -e 5000

But now I need to analyse the residence time of a water molecule, I mean the number of times a single water molecule stays in a radius of 5 A of the protein and divide this number by the total number of conformations, in order to have a pourcentage value.

Please is there any gromacs tool able to do this calculation or else does anyone have an idea of how to do that?

Thank you

Carla
