[gmx-users] g_order in GROMACS 3.3.2 and 3.3.1

[Justin A. Lemkul]

The g_order tool requires a unique sort of index group.  There's lots of
discussion about it documented in the list archives.  In short, you need to use
make_ndx to generate an index file that contains _only_ groups pertaining to the
carbon atoms you want to analyze, separated by chain (i.e., sn1.ndx/sn2.ndx). 
Each atom type should be in a separate group.

>
>       g_order  -f YYY.pdb -n index.ndx -s ZZZ.tpr -o -od
