Hi Mark,
I've tried your suggestion. I've made an index file with my oxygen (O) and my hydroxyl group (OH). Here my results: H-bond average (calculated using num.xvg): O = 1.10 +/- 0.62 OH = 2.06 +/- 0.66 (The first line from .log for each group) # Donor Hydrogen Acceptor O = SOL2OW SOL2HW1 MET1O OH = MET1O MET1HH SOL2OW My command line for each group was: gmx_507 hbond -s met.SIM.tpr -f met.SIM-traj.xtc -n wat_ana.ndx -shell 0.5 -r 0.35 -a 30 -num met.num.xvg -hbn met.hbn.ndx -don met.donors.xvg -dan met.dan.xvg -g met.log So I am a bit confused. I was expecting only 1 H-bond from OH group (since O is able to donate only one H), and 2 H-bonds accepted for O. Based on the .log, gmx hbond doesn't seem to be calculating H-bond for acceptors and donors at the same time, what would justify this value of 2 for OH (1 accepted and 1 donated). So, I ran out of ideas. Does anyone have any? Does these values make sense? Cheers!
