Hi,

I'm thinking it *may* have something to do with how search_donors() and the -merge flag work. The hydrogen must be part of the index group you provide. Nothing strange there. But the hydrogen that is printed to the index file may in fact *not* be the hydrogen bonding one if the -merge flag is set (default). Would the vanishing h-bonds happen to have donors with multiple hydrogens? There are two things you could try: either add all the donor's hydrogen to the index group when validating single h-bonds, or use -nomerge to generate a complete list of h-bonds and do your validation on that list.

Hi everyone,

I ran g_hbond on a trajectory. When g_hbond asks for two groups in the index file, I give:
group1: "Protein"
group2: "ligand"
The output .ndx file contains 44 Hbonds.

In order to verify my result on each and every Hbond, I ran g_hbond on the same trajectory but this time in my index file, I gave atom triplets, so when g_hbond asks for two groups, I give for example:
group1: "a4810_a4811_a1857"
group2: "a4810_a4811_a1857"
Surprisingly, 10 of the 44 Hbonds are not found using this method.

Am I doing something wrong or is there a problem with g_hbond?

Thank you,

Carla
