Dear gromacs users,

Aside from a scale factor, should the time dependence of the temperature T(t) extracted from the .trr file with g_traj for a given residue be


Using what command line? Have you read g_traj -h about -ot?

identical to the time dependence of the total kinetic energy (translational + rotational) K(t) extracted from the .trr file with g_traj for the same residue? If not, why not? Based on the formal relationship between the kinetic energy and temperature (T ~ v^2) we expect them to be identical but our simulations do not yield this result. Any information would be much appreciated.



There are many things that affect the fine details here, including GROMACS version, your integrator, thermostat and the frequency of energy computation and output vs velocity output. So with the available information there's nothing to say. Do check out chapter 3 of the manual for discussion of details here.
