[gmx-users] water layer with g_select

[Bala subramanian]

Hi,
I read the examples. I find that one example shows the usage of rdist
keyword. But i am not getting the right syntax to use it. I tried
several ways as follows to find water within .25-5 nm. Could someone
help me here.

-select 'resname SOL and within (0.25 and 0.5)  of group "Protein"'
-select 'resname SOL and rdist>=0.25 and rdist <=0.5  of group "Protein"'
-select 'resname SOL and within 0.25-0.5 of group "Protein"'
-select 'resname SOL and (rdist >=.25 and rdist <=0.5) of group "Protein" '
-select 'resname SOL and within (rdist >= 0.25 and rdist <= 0.5) of
group "Protein"'
-select 'resname SOL and within {0.25 to 0.5}  of group "Protein"'
