Create a topology with a value of nrexcl sufficient to exclude all
intramolecular interactions and create a .tpr file from it. Use that as input
to g_rdf.

Thanks for the suggestion. But it doesn't really fix the problem (or i don't get it). Ok what i have done (as an example only 3 molecules, A1 are all atoms of ring A of molecule 1, other stuff analogous)

Index group:
[ A ]
A1  A2  A3
[ B ]
B1  B2  B3
[ both ]
A1  B1  A2  B2  A3  B3

RDF(A-A): chose two times group A
RDF(B-B): chose two times group B
RDF(A-B): ?

If i chose group A and B i get the same result with 'nrexcel 3 or 10', i.e. mixing of intra- and intermolecluar A-B distances. If i chose 'both' two-times, i get the impression the the result is the RDF between the whole disaccharides, i.e. A1 and B1 are recognised as one molecule (AB)1 and i get the RDF between:
(AB)1 - (AB)2 ; (AB)1-(AB)3 ; (AB)2-(AB)3


I tested this also with an index-file with only 1 molecule.
RDF(A-B) gives the intramolecular RDF
RDF(both) is zero, because the is only one molecule, center of mass distance must be zero.
This also doesn't depend on using 'nrexcel 3 or 10'


Did i made a mistake? Or any further ideas?

Greetings
Thomas
