Dear Gromacs users,

We used g_mindist analysis as follows:
g_mindist -f *.xtc -s *.tpr -o atom-pairs.out -od mindist.xvg -or res_mindist.xvg

and surprisingly in the atom-pairs.out only several atoms in one residue (from group 1) were at minimum distance from group 2 throughout the entire simulation. Checking this output manually showed it to be incorrect.
res_mindist.xvg seems to hold the correct data.

When running the same analysis, only omitting the -or flag, we get a *correct* atom-pairs.out.
g_mindist -f *.xtc -s *.tpr -o atom-pairs.out -od mindist.xvg

Comparing mindist.xvg from both scenarios shows no difference (files are identical).

Is the -or flag supposed to affect the other output files of the g_mindist function?

Supplementary details:
1. The same thing happened when g_mindist -s was supplied with either .gro, .pdb or .tpr files. 2. Index-groups 1 and 2 consisted upon full molecules with no ommisions (full protein and not only C-alpha).
3. We ruled out PBC by using -nopi
4. This is common with the following Gromacs versions: 3.3.3., 4.0.5, 4.0.7.

Regards,
-Shay
