Re: [gmx-users] RMSD from the average structure

Average coordinates are problematic and not generally representative. Consider for instance the average coordinates of a methyl group connected to X. The rotation around the C-X bond causes the average positions of the hydrogens to line up. Consider using g_cluster to find representative

Hi Bipin Singh, That indeed gives you the RMSD against the average. Do think about it a bit more: do you want the average of the whole structure, or should you account for a phase of relaxation? Cheers, Tsjerk On Wed, Apr 24, 2013 at 2:17 PM, Justin Lemkul jalem...@vt.edu wrote: On

Thanks for your reply. Actually I am interested to see how much structural deviation is occurring in a protein during the simulation from its average position of atoms rather than the initial position (crystal structure or starting structure). The motivation of doing this analysis is the fact that

Hi all, Please let me know whether this is the right way to calculate RMSD from the average structure from a simulation: g_rmsf -f traj.xtc -s average.pdb -od rmsdev.xvg average.pdb: is the pdb file produced using -ox option of g_rmsf. -- *--- Thanks and Regards, Bipin
