Hi Justin,
Thanks for the suggestion. I looked through the GROMACS manual and the only method I can see of obtaining the adsorption energy between an adsorbed ammonia molecule and the graphene sheet would be to create an index file that assigns a separate index for each ammonia molecule, run the simulation, and then run "gmxdump -e mdener.edr" to view the energy between the adsorbed ammonia molecule and the graphene sheet. Is this the method you are suggesting or is there a different method of obtaining this information?


From your original message, I got the impression that only a few of your ammonia molecules were adsorbed. In this case, a better approach might be to identify the molecules that adsorbed in your original simulation, create groups for those individually, the graphene sheet, and then the rest of your ammonia. Then use mdrun -rerun with your new .tpr file, and g_energy (not gmxdump) to analyze the energies between the various groups.

Thanks.

Dear GROMACS Gurus,
Is it possible to determine the adsorption energy of a single molecule in
a simulation? My simulation has a large number of gas phase molecules
distributed throughout a box with some molecules adsorbed on a graphene
sheet. I would like to compare the adsorption energy of a single
molecule to that reported in research papers.


You should be able to study interactions between individual molecules by using energygrps and an appropriate index file.

Thanks.

Darrell
