    Hi,

    I have a quick question about interpreting the output from g_hbond.
     I am using the -ac option to calculate H-bond lifetimes between my
    protein and a series of different, bound ligands.  I read the
    associated paper, but I would like to confirm the interpretation of
    the results before I continue much further.  I obtained the following:


Which paper are you talking about? Is there a paper for each gromacs postprocessing tool?

Look for this type of information in the output (either to screen or to logs in the case of mdrun):

++++ PLEASE READ AND CITE THE FOLLOWING REFERENCE ++++
D. van der Spoel, P. J. van Maaren, P. Larsson and N. Timneanu
Thermodynamics of hydrogen bonding in hydrophilic and hydrophobic media
J. Phys. Chem. B 110 (2006) pp. 4393-4398
-------- -------- --- Thank You --- -------- --------

I don't know if there is a paper for every single tool, but pertinent algorithms are cited when necessary.

    Type      Rate (1/ps) Time (ps)  DG (kJ/mol)  Chi^2
    Forward         0.003    309.475      19.590  0.000294756
    Backward        0.007    136.034      17.471
    One-way         0.002    471.990      20.678
    Integral        0.001   1534.894      23.717
    Relaxation      0.002    606.619      21.325

    The "forward" and "backward" rates and times make sense based on
    equations 3 & 4 in the paper, but I could not find an explanation of
    what "one-way" and "relaxation" are.  Is the "integral" value taken
    from equation 2, and thus should be interpreted as the overall
    H-bond lifetime?

    Thanks,
    Justin
