That is not what g_dist -dist does. Please read g_dist -h.

  excluding -dist gives me X,Y,Z output which I don't want.

And other output which you do, but you have to use -o to get it. Read g_dist -h.

  And am not specifying an -o.

You need to specify -o to achieve your purpose. However, as I said quite a while ago, there is no value in measuring the distance between a protein phase and a water phase if they are in contact...

Even if I specify an atom say 1277 atom number to find distance against the OW 
atoms. I get the same result of SOL-OW distance. Is it a bug cause even after 
specifying one atom from a protein why doesn't it give me the result for the 
SOL.


As was suggested several messages ago, please do NOT combine -o and -dist.  If
you want to measure a distance, use -o.  If you want g_dist to print a list of
atoms that satisfy some given criteria, use -dist, but not together.

hi Justin,

As far i referred the OW,HW1 etc are water atoms so how can it be
distance between the SOL protein atoms, instead it is SOL water atoms.

The printed distance indicates that there is a certain water molecule that is
just over 2 hydrogen bonding lengths away from your protein's backbone.  Sounds
normal to me.

Thanks

         Hi Users,

         Am using g_dist to find the distance between water and protein.
         but my output has the values of SOL-water distance.

         t: 1  136 SOL 2336 OW  0.772373 (nm)


     This is not a water-water distance, it is the output of the -dist
     option telling you that water molecule 136 has its OW atom at
     0.7723273 nm from whatever your reference group is.
