[gmx-users] g_cluster: treating identical molecules as interchangeable

[Mark Abraham]

Hi,

I would expect there is no way to do this with g_cluster. g_cluster -h
should mention it if it did exist. The only way to implement it is to
iterate over all permutations of equivalent molecules. That's doable, but
it would have to have been implemented deliberately.
