Calculating distances is what the gmx distance program is for.  Simply
obtain
the COM distance between the micelle and peptide (or any subset of atoms
that
makes sense).

Thank you Justin. I am sorry, I didn't make my query specific.

g_dist calculates distance between COMS of 2 groups with reference to time.
I want to monitor the change in the COM of the peptide with respect to the
initial position (COM) of the peptide at 0ns and not between COM of 2
different groups with reference to time.

Please help me with "how to fix the reference position for distance
calculation"

Greatly appreciate your help and do let me know if I need to explain the
query further

With regards,

Sanket.
