        Hi Gromacs Users,
         I have calculated hydrogen bonds and collisions between my
        ligands and every single residue using g_hbond. Looking at the
        criteria adpoted by Gromacs I found impossible that number of
        hydrogen bonds were higher than number of collisions... And what
        is interesting in one of my residue I obtained result like
        this... All Hbonds with Glycine - 1872, All Collisions 704.
         Does anyone know how is it possible?

    I don't know how any of your numbers are possible (1872 H-bonds
    forming with a glycine?), or what you are defining as a collision
    and how you calculated it. Please provide the exact commands that
    you're using.  If you're equating a contact (e.g. from g_mindist)
    with a collision, then realize that the default criteria for a
    contact are very different than the geometric criteria for a
    hydrogen bond.

My system is made of 10 ligands and one protein. I used command: g_hbond -f md.trr -s md.tpr -n res91.ndx -num 91with10LIGbonds.xvg Where I specified in the index file two groups: 10 ligands and Glycine residue. So I have calculated hbonds (second column) and collisions (third column) and then I made a sum of all frames during 100 ns simualtion time (one frame every 50 ps) obtaining 1872 hbonds and 703 collisions between Glycine and 10 ligands. I did it with every residue to assess binding affinity of different amino acids. Criteria for collision is distance <3.5 A, and fo hbond distance <3.5 A and angle. So when calcualting hbond and collisions the number of hbonds has has to be smaller while collision takes into account hbonds as welll. I obtained results like this for all other residues which seems to be correct. Am I right?

No. The second column is not inclusive of the first. It counts the number of atoms that are within hydrogen bonding distance, but do not meet the criteria because of the angle between D-H-A.
