Dear Users,

I want to calculate the configurational entropy of certain water molecules
in a protein water system. Can you kindly inform me how to do it?
Basically it is not meaningful since first most water molecules are rigid in simulation, meaning there is only translational and rotational entropy, and second they will diffuse and be replace by others.

From different forums I have seen that it can be down by using g_covar and
g_anaeig programs. But I don't clearly understand the use. From this I am
getting just a single entropy value. How an I get the entropy as a function
of time?
There is no such thing.

In theory you can compute entropy over parts of a trajectory and print it as a function of time for each block, but those blocks need to be long to be meaningful.

Thanks in advance,
Saumyak
