[gmx-users] trjconv fit subset of atoms

[Berk Hess]

Hi,

Which version of Gromacs are you using?
In 4.0, but I think also in 3.3, trjconv ask for both a fit and an output group.

Subject: [gmx-users] trjconv fit subset of atoms


I am trying to use trjconv to generate a new .xtc file in which all frames have been aligned based on a subset of atoms (e.g. I have a multi-domain protein and I want to align the trajectory to one of the domains). Using a standard .ndx file only outputs the atoms associated with the fitted domain. I was wondering if there is a straightforward way to do what I describe without having to hack trjconv?
Looking at the source for do_fit.c it looks like if I were to set the mass of atoms that I didn't want to use in the alignment to zero, then it might work, but I am generally trying to avoid having to generate a tpr file since I'm coming from the pdb/psf world. 
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Josh
