[gmx-users] Doubts in visualisation of sdf output

[Apramita Chand]

Dear Justin,
Thanks for your reply
You're right. I should be choosing a particular density level for all the
components.
There's another doubt. Why Is it necessary to center the protein before
doing g_spatial?

Thanks

That depends on what you're doing and what your definition of "suitable"
is. You're choosing two different densities to illustrate different
components. Does that make sense? Are you trying to actually quantify
something or just render an image to show where various things are?
