Hi Justin,

Am using g_dist to find the distance between water and protein. for that i made 
a index file such as-

a CA(protein atoms)

a OW(water atoms)

i then run this cmd- g_dist -f md.xtc -s md.tpr -n index.ndx -e 500 -dist 0.35



instead of getting the result for protein-SOL distance . my output shows SOL-OW 
distance as seen below-

t: 1  136 SOL 2336 OW  0.772373 (nm)
even after specifying am getting an wrong output.


I don't know why this shows up if you're using "-dist 0.35" but it still sounds like you're going about your task the wrong way. If you want the distance between CA atoms and water as a function of time, leave off -dist and the output you want is in the dist.xvg file written by g_dist (-o output option). This will be a relatively insensitive measurement and you will probably need better index groups.

Thanks

        but my output has the values of SOL-water distance.

        t: 1  136 SOL 2336 OW  0.772373 (nm)


    This is not a water-water distance, it is the output of the -dist
    option telling you that water molecule 136 has its OW atom at
    0.7723273 nm from whatever your reference group is.
