[gmx-users] RMSD graph over time and g_cluster RMSD distribution seem at odds with each other

[Tsjerk Wassenaar]

Hi Massimo,

You have two clusters, both with low within-cluster RMSD. This shows up as
the first peak in the RMSD distribution. The second peak is the
between-clusters RMSD.

Cheers,

Tsjerk
