[gmx-users] Protein distance with respect to box walls

[Smith, Micholas D.]

Hi James,

The utility g_mindist lets you measure the minimum distance between a selection and its periodic image, if what you are trying to do is just confirm that your simulation box is large enough to prevent periodic image effects, this is one way to check.

Kind Regards,

Micholas

Dear James,

I think if you load your system in VMD you can measure the dimensions of
protein with something like

set sel [atomselect top "protein"]

measure minmax $sel

Regards.

Amin.
