Dear Justin and Jiangguo,

It's still the issue about residue numbering. Actually, the gromacs version is 
4.5.3, and I am using Martini coarse grained simulation, where I presume that 
gromacs reads residues from .gro file randomly, because there are no residues 
fetched correctly when I picked a list of residues for testing. 

Plus, I didn't use pdb2gmx program. In my gro file, it contains protein, 
lipids, ion, and water. 

:( :( :( :( :( :(

Jiangfeng.

Which is precisely what she told you.  Her suggestion is to measure the
head-tail distance of each molecule separately, then average.  This will require
a large number of index groups (2 groups per molecule, multiplied by however
many molecules you have to deal with) and will be very tedious, but it can be
done in this manner.

Dear Friends,

I want to measure some data of a special residue, for instance TRP143, from my 
MD result. But i encountered a problem.

The residue number 143 is ordered in .gro file, while it seems the residue 
orders is random in gromacs. It points to another residue when I specify 
residue number 143 in VMD or when I am using make_ndx program ( --> r 143; q). 
Apparently, gromacs numbering system is not based on the orders in the .gro 
structure file.

Does anybody know how to link the gromacs order to the structure file's order 
correctly?

Thank you in advance,

Jiangfeng.

Depending on the Gromacs version you're using, residue numbering is treated
differently.  In pdb2gmx, you can choose to renumber the residues from 1 or not.
  The default is to not renumber the file.  You should check to see what you did
with respect to this option and whether or not your coordinate file is numbered
from 1.  If it is not, then what you think is residue 143 may not be interpreted
that way by all external programs, depending on whether or not they respect the
numbering of the .gro file.

This can be done more efficiently with g_bond, treating each
head-to-tail distance as a "bond".

This seems fine.

Another possible reason is due to vmd, which numbers the residue from 0. 
Residue 143 in gromacs corresponds to residue 142 in vmd.
