Hi
To Calculate the radii of gyration about the principal axes

I use the command
g_gyrate -p

For lysozyme ,   I got  =>
0.922754     1.22249     1.25603

but in some paper, the authors got
=> 0.660  0.833  0.991

It is a quite difference.

what is the definition of the radii of gyration about the principal axes  ?
i have checked the Gromacs manual but see nothing there.

The difference seems to be a constant factor.
Gromacs computes
sqrt (sum m (r-r_com)^2 / sum m)
I'm pretty sure it says so in the manual.




Thank you

Lin
