Dear Leon,

Note that you can already use g_clustsize to check the aggregates. I'll contact you off list next week with the modified version.

Dear Dr. Ran Friedman

Would you please be so kind to send me your version, to calculate then the rgyr "of the largest aggregate". The box was built with a layer of 1.2 nm around the solute (editconf -d 1.2).

Dear Leon,

You can try to use g_clustsize to get the aggregates. I have a version
that can calculate the gyration radius of the largest aggregate, but
this would work only if your box is big enough and I haven't tried it
with rhombic dodecahedron boxes.

Dear gmx users

I did some simulations of multimers (peptides) in rhombic dodecahedron
boxes. In the initial configuration of the system, the peptides are
close of each other in the center of the box.

My aim to see if the peptides do aggregate during the trajectory or if
they tend to stay apart. A rough estimate can be taken from the
gyration radius for all the peptides together.

Already did a trjconv -pbc nojump pre-treatment on the trajectory,
before calculating the Rgyr. The gyration.xvg plots sometimes do show
abrupt jumps, and this is surely due to boundary effects, if I
correctly understood the PBC idea. If a peptide approaches the
boundary, it appears on the opposite side, thus rgyr will show a false
sudden increase. In fact, the peptide could be closer to the rest of
the other peptide molecule(s).

Thus my question is:
how to deal with peptide clusters that span over the periodic boundaries?

A similar question was done by Singh:
http://www.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-users/2007-January/025474.html

and it  was suggested by Chris Neale to pre-process the trajectory
(see
http://www.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-users/2007-January/025481.html)
with:

trjconv -f a.xtc -o a_cluster.gro -e 0.001 -pbc cluster
grompp -f a.mdp -c a_cluster.gro -o a_cluster.tpr
trjconv -f a.xtc -o a_cluster.xtc -s a_cluster.tpr -pbc nojump

but I'm getting infinite loops on the -pbc cluster treatment, same as
reported by Chris
(http://www.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-users/2008-July/035343.html).

Best,
Léon
