Re: [AMBER] Radial distribution function of waters

It's the combined (think of it as averaged) RDF of each atom in the
mask. If you want the geometric center of the mask you have to use the
center1 or center2 keyword(s) (for center mask 1 and mask 2
respectively).

One minor point - to get the correct normalization, typically what you
want is to have the first mask be the one with many atoms (in this
case the water), and the second to have fewer atoms (solute).

Hope this helps,
