Hi,
Currently the radius of gyration command calculates the RoG of all
atoms in mask to the center of mass (or geometric center) of the atoms
in that mask, so if only one atom is selected it's the distance of
that atom to itself which is of course zero. I think you can get what
you want by just using the distance command. For example, if your
solute is residues 1 to 12 and you want the distance of atom NZ in
residue 10 from the center of mass of the solute:
distance :10.NZ :1-12
Hope this helps.
