               Dear Gmx Users,
                I am setting up the simulation of a protein attached to the
               half of a nanotube. I set up my system and formed my box and
               solvated it in TIP3P water. Water molecules obviously
        were also
               placed below the part of a nanotube where I do not want
        them to
               be. Is there any command which will solvate my system
        below the
               surface of the nanotube? Or maybe is there any command or a
               software that will allow me to remove those unwanted water
               molecules? I have aroun 26000 water molecules in my
        system and
               around 5000 below my nanoutube so with editor it could take
               ages. Any suggestions?
           You can use g_select to use geometric criteria, i.e. coordinate
           value > some number such that only water molecules above a
        certain
           point are kept.  Then use trjconv with the index file
        g_select gives
           you and you have your cleaned up system.

        Thank you Justin. That makes sense. Can you please write me
        which option of g_select will do this? How to see the help for
        each option?

    Try:

    g_select -select "help all"

    Also note that similar procedures to what you want to do are
    described in the list archive.

Thank you. I would appreciate a link of similar problem as I cannot find it at all. Thank you.

Sorry, don't have the time to root through the archive myself. I know there are tons of posts about g_select and examples of use, so I'm sure you'll find them if needed. The help info is probably all you really need.

-Justin
