Hi, A displacement is not a fluctuation. Displacement is also relational, so you'll have to specify with respect to what. Likely you'd interpret displacement with respect to the mean structure, which by definition is at zero on a given principl axis. But in that case, the displacement is more comm

Hi Sridhar, pdb2gmx adds all hydrogens _according to the force field definition_ (and a database file describing how to add which hydrogen where). If you want to have all hydrogens "satisfying the valencies", you need to choose a force field that includes them, i.e. an all-atom force field. Maybe
