I want to calculate the COM RDFs between my peptide and water for which I have used the -com option in gromacs.(Also tried with -com and -rdf res_com).
It generates a wierd RDF which does not look correct. I want to take the first minimum and use the -cn option to get the coordination number.
The images for the RDFs are attached herein. What could be possibly wrong? The atom-atom RDFs are coming out well but not the COM ones.
Additionally,
If I use the -cn option of gromacs, it shows the cumulative CN right? Which means if I see the number at 0.257(say that's the cut-off), the number corresponding to it would be the coordination number. Am I right?
What if I integrate the rdf using g_analyse -integrate option ?
Any ideas on how to do the integration in Gromacs?
