Thx for ans! I have already done this. I also modify sfactor.c a little to select atoms acording to atom number instead of atom name ;-) But `g_rdf -sd` gives me plot of 'absorbtion units' versus 'reverse nanometers'. And it looks absolutely different from structure factor from article I cited. For example in article SF is fading sinusoid while g_rdf gives me positive increasing curve. I suppose it's diffraction spectrum, not structure factor. Or ... ? (i rly have no idea, so i'm scanning source code of sfactor.c now, but may be anybody know what `g_rdf -sd` exactly do?? ) Thanx before, comcon1) -- gmx-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gromacs.org/mailman/listinfo/gmx-users Please search the archive at http://www.gromacs.org/search before posting!
