Dear Tsjerk,

Thanks a lot for your reply. It was really helpful.
However it does not answer what I am looking for.
1. I want to calculate changes in the form of distance along the entire
trajectory as if I am fitting all the frames and then calculating the
changes for the same atom (or residue).
2. As I am checking the distance changes for same atom (or residue) is
there any way I can answer this using gromacs tools or any other method in
your knowledge?

Thanks a lot in Advance,



Pavan Payghan
