NAME¶
gmx-gyrate-legacy - Calculate the radius of gyration
SYNOPSIS¶
gmx gyrate-legacy [-f [<.xtc/.trr/...>]] [-s [<.tpr/.gro/...>]]
[-n [<.ndx>]] [-o [<.xvg>]] [-acf [<.xvg>]] [-b <time>]
[-e <time>] [-dt <time>] [-[no]w] [-xvg <enum>]
[-nmol <int>] [-[no]q] [-[no]p] [-[no]moi] [-nz <int>]
[-acflen <int>] [-[no]normalize] [-P <enum>]
[-fitfn <enum>] [-beginfit <real>] [-endfit <real>]
DESCRIPTION¶
gmx gyrate-legacy computes the radius of gyration of a molecule and the radii of gyration about the x-, y- and z-axes, as a function of time. The atoms are explicitly mass weighted.
The axis components corresponds to the mass-weighted root-mean-square of the radii components orthogonal to each axis, for example:
Rg(x) = sqrt((sum_i m_i (R_i(y)^2 + R_i(z)^2))/(sum_i m_i)).
With the -nmol option the radius of gyration will be calculated for multiple molecules by splitting the analysis group in equally sized parts.
With the option -nz 2D radii of gyration in the x-y plane of slices along the z-axis are calculated.
