Hi
There is a new problem :-(
If I used the commands
g_select -s molecule.pdb -select '"Close to ISO" resname SOL and within 1.2 of
resname ISO'
and
trjconv -n index.ndx -f molecule.pdb -s molecule.pdb -o output.pdb
I got only water in my output.pdb
As you should expect. Your command creates a group called "Close to ISO" that
consists of any residue named SOL that has any atom within 1.2 nm of a residue
named ISO.
Than I tried all 8 possible permutations of ISO and SOL in g_select and I
always got only water or only the molecule without any water.
But what I need is the molecule and only three layers of water around the
molecule.
What is the problem?
There is no problem, you just need to do a bit more work.
You now have an index file with the water molecules that satisfy your criteria.
You then need to utilize that index file to create a new, merged group
consisting of ISO and the water molecules. You can use make_ndx:
make_ndx -f molecule.pdb -n index.ndx -o index_new.ndx
Type "help" to see examples. What you need to do is merge your ISO group with
your "Close to ISO" group. So, for instance, if ISO is group 1 and "Close to
ISO" is group 5, you would type:
1 | 5
at the make_ndx prompt, which will create a group called Close_to_ISO_ISO, thus
a merged group of all atoms in "Close to ISO" and ISO.
