[gmx-users] RDF of Zn_water system using VMD/g_rdf

[abhijit Kayal]

in g_rdf command you are selecting Zn vs SOL. You first make an index file
for only water O atom. Then run g_rdf command and select group O. regarding
your second part I am not sure. Can you post the picture of msd? It will be
helpful what is going on.
