In VMD you could make various atom selection and use it in the script. You could use something like this: set outfile [open sol_within_prot.dat w]; set nf [molinfo top get numframes] set frame0 [atomselect top "protein" frame 0] # water calculation loop for {set i 1 } {$i < $nf } { incr i } { set prot [atomselect top "protein" frame $i] $prot move [measure fit $prot $frame0] set sol2keep [atomselect top "(same residue as (within 2 of protein)) and resname SOL" frame $i] set nummolP [$sol2keep num] set nummolR [expr $nummolP/3] puts $outfile "$frame $nummolR" puts "$frame" } close $outfile Probably you will need to fit your trajectory if your protein go near the edge of the box because VMD does not take in account the PBC in this type of calculation.

I could not find the appropriate command for this in manual. Moreover, I could not understand the information for g_sorient.Could you give me a more detailed explanation for this?
