[gmx-users] g_sdf again

[syma]

Hi 

 

Thanks for your help with this.

 

The problem was that the size of my 3d grid was too small (I was just using
the default 1x1x1 nm). I have now used a grid size that matches my system
and have a sensible gro file.

 

Best wishes,

 

-Syma

That does sound a bit unusual.

However, I use g_sdf quite extensively but don't use the reference
structure function.  Reason for this, is I have found that the one 
generated for the molecules I simulate it is highly distorted and the
corresponding atom locations do not match up with where they they are
located if you calculate the sdf for the non-coordinate atoms within the 
molecule.  


Yes. I also found that. 
Because  I want to use the COM of the reference group to calculate the sdf,
and the problem of "-r" flag, I rewrite this program. It works. But it seems
my program always uses too much memory. Who can give some suggestions to
save the memory?  Thanks a lot! 
 

 

So I use a representative molecule, rotate to match the sdf
for atoms within the molecule, then use that.  Not the best way to do 
it, but it gets what I need.
