Re: [gmx-users] Alpha-Helix Dipole

Hi David, I tried to use the option -mutot in g_energy, but all I get is the component dipoles. They match what I've got in the file Mtot.xvg from g_dipoles, which is really high (for all the system: water+ polyala helix, fluctuates between 100 and 300 D), but in adip.xvg (the average) the valu

Thank you for the guidance, David. Now I got it, but a thing that also helped was to set the option -pbc inbox in trjconv, which I didn't know if I had to (I read the manual, but even so, I didn't know). Now I see the water dipole counterbalances the entire protein one (I was testing in PolyALA,
