Hi,

I have looked at the files to sent me, and I can't spot any errors. There *is* a hydrogen bond at y=1. It only occurs in 5 frames though, so they're really hard to find when isnpecting the xpm in e.g. Gimp, since the image is 60000 pixels wide. So, I got tired of sqinting in front of Gimp and went for a bit of comandline work instead. Here's what I did:

>> tail -1 map_concatenated.xpm | tr 'o' '\n' > lastline
>> head -1 lastline | wc -c
   16749
>> head -2 lastline | wc -c
   16936
>> head -3 lastline | wc -c
   40226
>> head -4 lastline | wc -c
   45019
>> head -5 lastline | wc -c
   58565
>> head -6 lastline | wc -c
   60001

The numbers I got (except for the last one) are the frames where the hbond manifests. I verified the first one in gimp. You can check the other's if you wish. I also found two frames in map1.xpm and three in map3.xpm using the same method.

Hi Erik,

I tried what you said: I made index groups containing only the atoms involved in that hbond and ran g_hbond again. The problem didn't persist. So I wanted to check if I misinterpreted the map: for that, I compared my 4 index files: the one of my concatenated trajectory and the three of the separate trajectories. When I look at this comparison table and then at my concatenated hbond map, the results don't match: for example, the Hbond that has the number 1 in my concatenated trajectory doesn't appear in my concatenated map (it means that in my map, next to y=1, nothing appears), however, this same H-bond (same number of atoms involved) exists in my first and my third trajectories' index files. So please could you explain how to interpret the map and if next to some y value in my map, nothing appears, is this value taken into account in my index file?

Thank you,
Carla

            Hi to all,

            I'm sorry I'm asking again a question I asked a week ago
            but I still haven't found my answer:

            I concatenated 3 trajectories of 3 different molecules
            (that have the same number of atoms) with trjcat: trjcat
            -settime

            Then I ran g_hbond on the concatenated trajectory, I got
            an index.ndx file that contains an H-bond between the
            Thr121 of my protein and an atom N2 of my ligand. This
            H_bond  figures in the 3 trajectories when I look at the
            hbmap of my concatenated trajectory.

            On the other hand, I ran g_hbond on each of the 3
            different trajectories. This H_bond doesn't exist in the
            index files of two of my trajectories. So it doesn't match
            the result I get with my concatenated trajectory.

            To be sure that this result is right, I calculated the
            angle and the r of my H-bond in VMD during each of the 3
            trajectories and the results indicate that this H-bond
            doesn't exist (I consider that r must be < or equal to
            0.35 nm and angle < or equal to 30 degrees).

            Please can anyone tell me why the results of g_hbond in my
            concatenated trajectory don't match the results of g_hbond
            on each of my trajectories?

            Thank you

            Carla

        Hi,

        This sounds strange. Could you file a bugzilla and either
        upload the trajectories+tpr, or, if the files are huge, make
        them available my other means? I need to have a closer look,
        perhaps through a debugger.

    A simple test you could do yourself is to make index groups
    containing only the atoms involved in that hbond and run g_hbond
    again. If the problem persists, then it looks like a bug. If not,
    then I still can't rule out misinterpretation of the matrix.

    Erik
