I am interested in pulling out the trajectories (x,y,z coordinates) of water
molecules within a certain distance of my solute molecule. I have tried
using g_select, but that will only give me the atom numbers and not the
trajectories. I can create an index file using this command but
unfortunately each time frame is set as a different group.
Is there a way to get the trajectories at all frames of only the water
molecules within a specified distance of a solute molecule?
At present, there is no elegant way to construct such a trajectory, since, in
principle, each frame can have a different number of atoms based on which water
molecules satisfy the given criteria. Each index group that g_select provides
corresponds to an individual frame in the original trajectory, which you can use
to pull out individual coordinate files. Perhaps a multi-frame .pdb or .gro
file would work, but I believe that .xtc and .trr files have to have the same
number of atoms in each frame to be interpreted correctly.
