[gmx-users] Detection of Internal water along MD trajectory

[Trayder Thomas]

If you can think of a sensible way to define your area of interest, a
simple VMD script can count waters:
[atomselect <mol ID> "name \"O.*\" and resname <water resname> and same
residue as <define area somehow>" frame <frame>] num

e.g. To count the number of water molecules within 5A of residues 1-5:
[atomselect 0 "name \"O.*\" and resname SOL and same residue as within 5 of
resid 1 2 3 4 5" frame now] num
