Hi Justin,
Thank you very much!

The legend is "Total" for the command without -surface and -output. So I feel 
like if I do a division for the last columns from those two commands, I can 
just get the fraction of folded/unfolded?


e.g. 
1.467/2.767
1.824/2.757
1.901/2.736
... ...

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.


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?


Thank you!

Hi Alexandr,
Thank you, but it is the same with spaces between | 
:(

Hi Justin, thank you very much.


Sorry I still do not fully understand. I have an index file, in which the group 
0 is all the residue atoms of the protein, group 1 is the first residue atoms. 
I want to calculate the sasa fraction of the residue 1. The fraction means: the 
sasa at folded state divided by the sasa when the residue is fully unfolded.


So as you said, "two selections, one for the surface, the other for what is 
output". 
) The manual says: "-surface should always consist of all non-solvent atoms in 
the system", so in my case it should be group 0, right?
) The manual also says: "-output can specify additional selections, which 
should be subsets of the calculation group", so in my case, it should be group 
1, right?


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


And got error message:
Error in user input:
Invalid selection '0 1 '
  Near '1'
    syntax error



I also tried "echo 1 0", and got the similar error:
Error in user input:
Invalid selection '1 0 '
  Near '0'
    syntax error



Can you please help me? Thank you very much!

Thank you! So if I am using a index file, and the index 1 is the group I am 
interested, should I use the below? What is the difference between "-output" 
and "-o"?


echo 1|gmx sasa -f md_0_1.xtc -s md_0_1.tpr -surface -output -n -o area.xvg -tu 
ns

Dear Gromacs,
This website can give us the Q(SASA), i.e. the fraction of SASA per residue, 
with values from 0 to 1.
https://mathbio.crick.ac.uk/wiki/POPS


Can I ask if we can use "gmx sasa" to obtain similar information? I do not like 
the "absolute" sasa, as it could not reflect the relative exposure extent of a 
residue. For example, a buried big residue may have similar sasa as an exposed 
small residue.


Thank you.


Yours sincerely
Cheng
