I need to calculate the radial distribution function for my system which includes 50 molecules. Here is my code line to generate rdf in gromacs:
gmx rdf -n Index.ndx -f mdrun1.xtc -s mdrun1.tpr -selrpos 'whole_res_com' -ref "AsphB" -sel "AsphB" -o rdf_com_20.xvg
I am wondering if I should choose all 50 molecules in both -ref and -sel sections?
Or should I consider molecule 1 as -ref and the rest as -sel and do that multiple times for all molecules and then get average overall? If yes, what type of average should that be?
