Hi Mark,

The -dist option says- print all the atoms in group 2 that are closer than a certain distance to the center of mass of group 1.
That means it should give me the distance from OW to protein atom.

If you choose correct groups that are correctly defined with respect to your trajectory and use a large enough distance cutoff.


And when am already specifying only one atom from protein ie say 1322. why do i get this kind of output-

We can't tell. We don't know what your command line is, what's in your simulation system, the contents of your index groups, or which groups you've selected for which role. Clearly something is not working properly, and our time constraints mean that we're going to assume you've done something wrong, in the absence of evidence to the contrary.

    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

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.

    -Justin

    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.
