Dear Xavier,

my problem is the following:

I'm trying to figure out if a water molecule is present in a specific area around my protein and if so, which water molecule is that and how long does it stay in that place.

I think g_dist does this for a group containing a single water molecule. All you need to do write a script to iterate over each molecule, and then collate the statistics.

As you said, if I google residence time, here's the definition: *Residence time* (also known as *removal time*) is the average amount of time that a particle <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle> spends in a particular system.

But I don't find a tool to calculate this residence time in gromacs, so I'm trying to find a trick that can give me a pourcentage of the time of my simulation where a certain water molecule stays in the specific area of my protein.

Regards,
Carla

    Dear Boafu,

    This sounds like a great tool!

    Carla, note that once you've ordered the water molecules you loose
    the continuity of their trajectories ... that is because you order
    them in
    function of their distance to the protein.

    I am not sure the definition you give will give you the answer to the
    residence time. you can google residence time and proteins and see
    what come out :))

        HI Carla,

        I wrote a similar code, see attached. But it is written for my
        condition. You should modify it accordingly.

            Dear gmx-users,

            I used trjorder in order to study the water molecules that
            are closer than 5 A from my protein.

            trjorder -s structure.tpr -f traj.xtc -n prot_water.ndx -o
            ordered.pdb -nshell nshell_.xvg -r 0.5 -b 0 -e 5000

            But now I need to analyse the residence time of a water
            molecule, I mean the number of times a single water
            molecule stays in a radius of 5 A of the protein and
            divide this number by the total number of conformations,
            in order to have a pourcentage value.

            Please is there any gromacs tool able to do this
            calculation or else does anyone have an idea of how to do
            that?

            Thank you

            Carla
