Hi all,

I am doing simulation of 864 spce water molecules in a cubic box of 3nm length 
in gromacs-4.55 version.

I have generated the trajectory file using trjconv utility in gromacs. Using 
the  trr file used to generate the .pdb file, I have generated the co-ordinates 
of H atoms of water using g_traj utility. I thought I will get the same value 
of co-ordinates of H atoms  in both the files in a particular time step. But it 
was not so. I am attaching here a part of both the files containing the 
co-ordinates of H atoms in the first time step. Please note that I have 
modified and removed the co-ordinates of oxygen atoms from the pdb file. So, 
Its not exactly the standard format.

My doubts are:
1. Am I wrong in thinking that in both the files, co-ordinates of same atoms in 
a particular time step should be same?
2. If I am wrong, then what is correct ?
3. If I am correct then  what may be the possible cause of having different 
coordinates in both the files?


The coordinates aren't different in terms of the numbers they actually represent. Gromacs uses nm as a standard unit; PDB files use Angstrom. Note that your numbers are different by exactly a factor of 10.
