Hi all,

I am trying to understand what type of distance can be used with g_cluster? 

In the manual, it is written that  RMS deviation after fitting or RMS deviation of atom-pair distances can be used to define the distance between structures in the first paragraph. 
However, in the other options part, two options are indicated for 
-dista option, which indicates the type of distance that will be used with  g_cluster. They are RMSD of distances or RMS deviation. Consequently, the information in the first paragraph does not coincide with that given in the other options part for -dista option. 


Maybe I could not understand. Could anyone explain this in a clearer way, 
please?


I agree that it is not very clear what is meant in the documentation, 
and I have wondered myself what it means. This is one of the reasons 
that the source code is made available.


I had a quick look, and -dista yes looks like it implements the RMS 
deviation of atom-pair distances quoted above. That is, it forms an 
atom-pair distance matrix for each structure in the trajectory, and then 
does an all-against-all root-mean-square comparison of those matrices to 
generate the structure comparison matrix for clustering. You'd be well 
advised to verify that yourself. It's all in src/tools/gmx_cluster.c

Thank you Mark for your feedbacks. 
There is one more point that is not clear to me for the output of g_cluster, In 
the second column of the cluster.log of g_cluster, the same rmsd values are 
indicated for different clusters. What does it mean? Although these clusters 
have the same cut-off value, they are grouped in different clusters, Why?

Thank you.
