Re: [gmx-users] RDF plot with large g(r) values

2015-01-09 Thread André Farias de Moura
makes sense now, your system is quite heterogeneous.

you may use your RDF but some reviewers might not agree with this kind of
analysis for heterogeneous systems, so you have to explain why your
correlation peaks are so high and why the profiles don't converge to unity.

 RDF values are sensitive to the volume of the system, so if you put the
 same solutes inside a larger/smaller box, RDF values change accordingly
 (check basic definitions of RDF in simulation handbooks to make sure you
 understand this relation).

 Ah right, that explains why my RDF values dropped if I put a larger amount
 of water in the same box.


 and even if you have the same size and composition, RDF may become really
 large if molecules aggregate.

 Yep, I have a droplet where the Na+ and OH- ions tend to aggregate within
 the solution, the high g(r) peak in the RDF almost doubles the other
 systems with no aggregation.
 In this case, can I still use my RDF plots?

 Kester

Re: [gmx-users] RDF plot with large g(r) values

2015-01-08 Thread Kester Wong
Dear Justin, No, I am not comparing equivalent systems, nor reproducing previous findings. My simulation box contains a droplet of 2000 water molecules on graphene.The RDF of g(r) Ow-Ow shows a first peak at r = 0.3 nm, with a peak height of 400.For 6000 and 10,000 water molecules, the peak heights are 200 and 100, respectively. Is this due to the large vacuum in my simulation box?Regards,KesterOn 1/8/15 4:48 AM, Kester Wong wrote:

Are you comparing equivalent systems, e.g. trying to reproduce previous 
findings?  If not, it's just apples and oranges.  Your result is not necessarily 
unusual.
