Hi there,
Could you check your ptraj output for the results of the atom
selection masks you are using? That is output in the begginign og the
ptraj output file.
The plot you show only has 3 distinctive sets of lines: The first two
come from the C-I and O-I RDFs, and the last set is uncertain, but
probably bunches together everything that contain Hydrogens. My guess
is that ptraj is not completely understanding your selection masks
when it comes to the Hydrogens.
