    The radius of gyration of an object describes its dimensions, calculated as the root mean square distance between its center of gravity and its ends.  In analyzing proteins, the radius of gyration is indicative of the level of compaction in the structure, i.e. how folded or unfolded the polypeptide chain is.  The tool to calculate radius of gyration in GROMACS is g_gyrate.
