Each atom type must be in a separate group. For example: > a C17 > a C18
(and so forth for the rest of the carbon atoms in the chain) The rest of your process is fine (deleting out the other groups from the index file). -Justin Quoting ªL´µ½ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Dear all GROMACS user : > After generating the .ndx file which contained only one group that one > tail of DPPC, > I use g_order to calculate order parameters.
