[gmx-users] Regarding trjconv

[Erik Marklund]

Dear Aparamita,

trjconv can enable or preclude subsequent analysis of trajectories, depending on what you want to do. For example, by fitting chosen groups to a reference structure. By centering your protein, you effectively remove all lateral diffusion, so it’s not surprising that a very low diffusion coefficient is reported for the processed trajectory.

Kind regards,
Erik
