Hello,

The manual explaining trjorder says:

trjorder orders molecules according to the smallest distance to atoms in a reference group or on z-coordinate (with option -z). With distance ordering, it will ask for a group of reference atoms and a group of molecules. For each frame of the trajectory the selected molecules will be reordered according to the shortest distance between atom number -da in the molecule and all the atoms in the reference group. *The center of mass of the molecules can be used instead of a reference atom by setting -da to 0*

In order to arrange water molecules in accordance with the COM of the polypeptide, I chose -da 0.

As it says above, -da refers to an atom or COM of the molecule, not the reference group. This could be worded better in the documentation.

Be sure you're choosing the groups you think you are choosing - you not copying relevant parts of your terminal output into emails is making things difficult.

Am I wrong?

Thanks,

        Hello all,

        I am trying to order the TIP4P water molecules in my system
        with respect to the polypeptide in my system.

        The command I am using is:

         trjorder -f shape.gro -s shape.tpr -da 0  -na 4 -o ordered.gro

        This runs without any error and ordered.gro is generated with
        random sequence of water molecules.

        Just to cross check I calculated the distances between one of
        atoms of the polypeptide and oxyegn atom of different
        "ordered" water molecules.
        I found, there is no ascendig trend in the distances with
        respect to the polypeptide as a go down in the "ordered.gro" file.

        What could be going wrong?


    -da 0 has a particular effect - is it appropriate? Did you choose
    the right groups? You could use the -nshell option to probe what
    trjorder thinks is going on.
