Sorry, I forgot to mention that I have two systems. One consists of
protein-water and the other one consists of protein-water-urea. I need to
calculate the tetrahedral order parameter of water around the protein
within 0.4nm for these two systems.
Sounds like a very difficult problem. I assume you want to evaluate whether the structure is more ordered close to the protein than in bulk. In theory you could find all the water molecules with a radius X from the protein, using gmx trjorder and then generate an index that you pass to gmx hydorder. However if you use a shell of 0.4 nm there will not be enough water to test this, and in addition the water interacting with the protein will not be counted by the program.

The most important question you should ask your self is whether you want to get out something that can be measured, in that case you would be better off computing free energies.

Thanks and regards-

Dear all,
          I know this question was asked by many users before but
searching
them all I did not get how to perform it in GROMACS. Please help me with
this. Is there any in built command line exist for Tetrahedral order
parameter calculation? If gmx hydorder is the existing tool for
calculating
tetrahedral order parameter, went through this I did not understand the
usage of it too.
Thanks in advance-
Soham

What system, water?
