[gmx-users] PROBLEM : rdf O-H of water from tutorial

[niharendu choudhury]

Dear all,
I tried to calculate oxygen-hydrogen (O-H) rdf of SPC water from the trajectory file, which I generated according to the instructions given in the (web)  tutorial on water. For O-H rdf i have generated the index file for oxygens and hydrogens. Then I calculated rdf with 
g_rdf -n 
command. When it prompted for groups,  I have chosen 1 and 2 for oxygen and hydrogen respectively. I have got an O-H rdf, but with an unusually large peak at around 0.1 nm. Also the height of this peak gets changed by changing the bin size. I feel it is normalization error. At 0.1 nm there should not be any peak due to excluded volume effect.
If anybody clears me why this unrealistic peak is appearing? How to get rid of this?
