[gmx-users] Dimer g_rms

[Carla Jamous]

Thank you for all your replies. Actually, I have already applied trjconv
-pbc. So I'm sure that my analysis is on a whole protein, centered in my
box. I'm using gromacs 4.0.3
So I think that you were right by saying that my dimer is not stable while
my monomers are. But now, I have to fgure out why.

Thanks again,
Carla
