[gmx-users] protein membrane system

[Shima Arasteh]

In order to compare the first and the second .gro file, I used grep -c OW (file.gro) to see how many waters exist in my new system. I got 22352, however I got 23703 before ( when I had not deleted the disturbing water molecules). So 23703-22352=1351 molecules.
Also I compared the atom noumbers in two .gro files( .gro files : before and after deleteing disturbing water molecules):
Before: 103723
After: 99625
Then 103723-99652=4071 divided by 3 gets: 1357 molecules.
There is a difference between 2 answer. 6 molecules! What's wrong? I am sure that I have just deleted water molecules by VMD.
Any body helps me  please?

I would appreciate you.


Sincerely
Shima

The mismatch implies that your atom mapping is off by one entry, indicating that 
either the update to your topology is wrong or that you deleted only part of 
some molecule, leaving a fractional species somewhere.
