That does sound a bit unusual. However, I use g_sdf quite extensively but don't use the reference structure function. Reason for this, is I have found that the one generated for the molecules I simulate it is highly distorted and the corresponding atom locations do not match up with where they they are located if you calculate the sdf for the non-coordinate atoms within the molecule.
Yes. I also found that. Because I want to use the COM of the reference group to calculate the sdf, and the problem of "-r" flag, I rewrite this program. It works. But it seems my program always uses too much memory. Who can give some suggestions to save the memory? Thanks a lot! So I use a representative molecule, rotate to match the sdf
for atoms within the molecule, then use that. Not the best way to do it, but it gets what I need.
