Also, what about non-bonded interactions within the protein? Does exclusion group only exclude the non-bonded interactions between two different molecules and non-bonded interactions within the single molecule atoms are still computed?


Nonbonded interactions are excluded between each defined pair.  Therefore, with

energygrp_excl = Protein Protein SOL SOL

you are excluding all nonbonded interactions between protein atoms (Protein Protein pair) and between solvent atoms (SOL SOL pair). Protein-solvent interactions are calculated. The use of energygrp_excl (as documented) indicates that only nonbonded interactions are affected. That is, bonded energies should still be calculated for all groups.

    Hi

    When we define energy group exclusions e.g. like in manual energygrp
excl = Protein Protein SOL SOL and do md rerun, then only non-bonded interactions between Protein
    and SOL are computed. I am wondering what happens to bonded
    interactions within the protein, do they contribute to energies even
    though we have excluded protein-protein interactions?

    thanks
