I have type the help at the prompt of make_ndx, but it does not give the explaination as I expected. Thus I hope you can give me an explaination based on your tutorial.

What were you expecting that you didn't get? The help information describes all of the sytax. For instance, it contains the following lines:

 'name' nr name    : rename group nr to name.
 ...
 'r' nr1 - nr2               : selects residues in the range from nr1 to nr2.
 ...
 'q'               : save and quit.

Those lines alone directly answer your questions.

Type "help" at the make_ndx prompt for an explanation.

> Suppose I have a protein-peptide complex A, the protein is of 400 aas,the peptide is 20 aas. Suppose I have another protein-peptide complx B, and the only difference beteen protein complex A and complex B is that in position 3 of peptide of complex A, it is Ala. In the coresponsing position of the peptide of complex B, it is Arg. > Can the results of this Umbrella Sampling calculation be accurate enough to show that the binding energy between the protein and peptide in complex A and B is different and cuurently reflects the fact that the difference is caused by the substitution of Ala by Arg? >
Probably.
