Dear all,
I am using gmx distance to calculate the distance between the center of mass (c.o.m.) of the phosphorous group (PO4, 5 atoms)
and the c.o.m. of the lipid bilayer system in Justin's tutorial (a typical lipid DPPC bilayer system) by issuing, as shown on GROMACS website for gmx distance,
gmx distance -n index.ndx -select 'com of group "A" plus com of group "B"' -oxyz -oall -s md.tpr -f md.trr
where A = Phsphorous B = System.
The distance should be about the chain length of the lipid, so ~ 20 A
However, it gives ~ 0.1 nm. I just wonder why it is like that.
Many thanks,
Yao
