[gmx-users] File editing - only one layer of water around a molecule

[Lara Bunte]

Hi

I read g_select description and I still don't know how to solve my problem. No if you have a pdb file with a molecule in water. How to remove all the water except of one layer? How could I do this with g_select? What other solutions could be used, with i.e. other software?

Greetings
Lara

There's many ways to do it. The GROMACS way is to use g_select with some geometric criterion for the layer to generate an index group describing the layer, and then using that with trjconv -n to take the subset out of the trajectory file.
