HI
What is the math definition of the radii of gyration about the principal
axes in Gromacs?
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.
>From David =>
"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."
1. so the different factor is sum m , not sum_N, right ? (N= number of
atoms)
2. the choice of the principal axes of the protein molecule is a standard
process ?
=> I mean the principal axes of the protein molecule is fixed, right ?
=> I mean the math of the principal axes of the protein molecule is
defined all over the world , right ?
Thank you
Lin

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.
