g_gyrate_d1

Calculate the radius of gyration

Part of gmx-gyrate(1).

Usage

gmx gyrate [-f [<.xtc/.trr/ ... >]] [-s [<.tpr/.tpb/ ... >]] [-n [<.ndx>]] [-o [<.xvg>]] [-acf [<.xvg>]] [-nice <int>] [-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>]

Overview

gmx gyrate 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.

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.
