Hi all

I also faced a similar problem like Ozge Engi when i used the g_density command for water-DCE interface. when i saw the final .gro file in VMD i saw some 20-25 molecules of water came on one side (end of DCE side) of the box and few molecules of DCE say 5 molecules on the end of water side. i have attached the graph that i got. what is the problem due to? why are we not getting the density profile starting from zero on both side of the box? any help is highly appreciated.


The thread you quote contains the answer. The densities likely will not go completely to zero; the layers interact with each other in some way, so there will be some fluctuations at the interface between the two.

    No, not if there are undulations of the interface.
