Charge groups are covered in the manual. See there for details. Since GROMACS evaluates non-bonded energies as sums over charge groups, not sums over atoms, it is not possible to have an energy group that is not a union of whole charge groups. You could re-define the charge groups in the topology (see chapter 5 of the manual) if you were prepared to have more noise as atoms move in and out of the cutoffs, which might be acceptable in a mdrun -rerun context. Still, I'd suggest strongly that you consider what you expect such an analysis to tell you. Protein-ligand interactions are very unlikely to be decomposable into pairwise-additive terms that are a function of subsets of coordinates - especially enzymes. > I am a jackeroo and want to get your advice. Many thanks! Somehow, I doubt it!
