I read the above linked paper about the to find a molecular density
hydration map it says
"For each step of the MD trajectory, the protein was fitted to a
consistent frame of reference."
I did this by using trjconv i have fitted the protein in my trajectory
" Next, the same transformation was applied to the water molecule
coordinates, taking the periodic boundaries into account."
I did the same by using trjconv by using the trajectory i have
obtained from the previous step
" The coordinates of the water oxygen atoms were then mapped onto the
three-dimensional rectangular grid with a 0.5 Å grid step, producing
an average three-dimensional number density distribution. The
particular choice of the grid step is a compromise between the
uncertainty in location of the density features and the statistical
error in the local density value that arises due to a lower number of
counts in each grid cell. At the chosen grid step every cell in the
regions corresponding to bulk solvent would have at least 50 counts
over the entire trajectory. The density map was smoothed by averaging
the value of each cell with six of its nearest neighbors before
further manipulations. "
I did the above step by using GridCount tool i got a grid.dat then i
transformed the that to a vmd readable format density map.
but when i visualize the file in vmd i got a lot of density over the
corner but i was not able to visualize the it near the protein
molecule as given in the above mentioned paper
The simplest thing that can go wrong is that your visualization of the
density is based on an unsuitable range of density. However, you'll have
to consult the documentation of GridCount and VMD - you're not very
likely to get help for those on a GROMACS mailing list.
could anyone helpme in this regard how to do the same analysis in gromacs.
g_density can calculate 3D number density histograms, however there
might be a bunch of work to (say) visualize that histogram in (say) VMD
overlaying your system, or such.
