[gmx-users] RDF plot with large g(r) values

[André Farias de Moura]

RDF values are sensitive to the volume of the system, so if you put the
same solutes inside a larger/smaller box, RDF values change accordingly
(check basic definitions of RDF in simulation handbooks to make sure you
understand this relation).

and even if you have the same size and composition, RDF may become really
large if molecules aggregate.
