[gmx-users] hydrogen bond between polymer and water

2012-07-18 Thread zifeng li
Dear Gromacs users,

I am calculating hydrogen bonds between polymer and water using
Gromacs 4.5.4 and opls-AA force field. Our goal is to extract
coordinates of atoms which form hydrogen bond at each frame.

1. The way I do it now is iterating following commands at every frame
using a script:

g_hbond -f  fn -s fn  -b frame#  -e frame# -g frame#

trjconv -f  fn  -s fn -b frame#  -e frame#  -o frame#.pdb

It works but  would take 5ns and generate 0.6GB data per 100 frame for
my system.

Since Gromacs can calculate the hbond life time so that I wonder is
there anywhere I can find  hbond index for each frame?

2. Another thing weird in my simulation is : based on the hbond log
file, all the hydrogen that can form hbond is HW1, which is the first
hydrogen in water residue. a glimpse of my log file:
#  Donor  Hydrogen  Acceptor
  SOL750OW  SOL750HW1 BAE380O1
  SOL787OW  SOL787HW1 MMA491O1
  SOL824OW  SOL824HW1 MMA423O1

 Would you have any idea about this?

Thanks in advance!

One run through g_hbond with -hbm and -hbn will map out all hydrogen bonds and 
when they exist.  No need to analyze frames separately.

The default behavior of g_hbond is to merge equivalent hydrogens (-merge flag) 
so HW1 and HW2 are considered the same and likely are just labeled as HW1.
