Hi Justin,
Thank you very much.


So I tried:
gmx sasa -f md_0_1.xtc -s md_0_1.tpr -n index_C226S.ndx -o area.xvg -tu ns 
-surface 'group 0' -output 'group 1'


And got:
       0.000  206.865    1.467
       0.100  232.450    1.824
       0.200  225.984    1.901

       ... ...


So my understanding is
) 1st column is the time
) 2nd column is the sasa of the whole protein
) 3rd column is the sasa of the particular group
Thank you for that.


But may I ask
1) if it is possible to calculate the fraction for a particular group in this 
way:
(sasa of the state in the xtc file)/(sasa when that group is fully unfolded)
Because a big buried residue may have similar sasa compared to a small exposed residue, 
so the "absolute" sasa of each residue could not reflect their buried extents 
individually.

gmx sasa will compute the SASA of the chosen atoms in the supplied configuration(s). If you want to do further manipulations, you'll have to script that yourself as a post-processing task.


2) When I do not use -surface and -output, but use echo:
echo 1|gmx sasa -f md_0_1.xtc -s md_0_1.tpr -n index_C226S.ndx -o area.xvg -tu 
ns


I got:
       0.000    2.767
       0.100    2.757
       0.200    2.736

       ... ...


Do you know what is the meaning of the second column?

It should be labeled in the header of the output file, but it's the SASA of the chosen group of atoms, in this instance assuming that the entire group is solvent-exposed (because you're not computing a full surface here, just the SASA of the chosen atoms).
