I have had a similar experience, I have not investigated it thoroughly at the moment, but I get different (identical with specific jumps possibly due to pbc) plots if I take starting structure as my input pdb file or if my starting structure is first structure of trajectory. <br><br>I think the plots would be fine if you just use g_rms -s topol.tpr -f traj.xtc <br><br><br><br>> Date: Sat, 20 Nov 2010 19:05:35 +1100<br>> From: Mark.Abraham@anu.edu.au<br>> To: gmx-users@gromacs.org<br>> Subject: Re: [gmx-users] disparity in RMSD calculation<br>> <br>> On 20/11/2010 4:54 PM, Sunita Patel wrote:<br>> > Dear Users,<br>> ><br>> > I calculated RMSD for a trajectory with same reference structure using GROMACS<br>> > and VMD.
