[AMBER] Discrepancy between AMBER and VMD calculation

Dear amber-users,

I have performed REMD simulation on my system with implicit solvent simulation means there is no periodic boundary. I calculated radius of gyration of the molecule at a given temperature using both PTRAJ and VMD. I surprised seeing the different results of the same trajectory.
Why there is discrepancy in radius of gyration calculation using PTRAJ and VMD? Which one to rely?
