GMX-GYRATE(1) GROMACS GMX-GYRATE(1)

gmx-gyrate - Calculate the radius of gyration

gmx gyrate [-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>]


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.

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.
