Hi,

I'm trying to look at contacts between two proteins at the individual atom level. I have a bunch of analysis scripts that use the .xpm file and work for h-bonds, so I wanted to use the output of g_hbond 3.3.2 again with the option -contact. But:

g_hbond -hbn -hbm -num -contact -r 0.4

gives the output/error below. The .ndx and .xvg files are created but not the .xpm. Apparently there is an interference with the new but undocumented option -r2 in the code, involving a confusion between hb->nrdist and hb->nrhb... I cannot use earlier versions, because the xpm output was very buggy.

The help of g_hbond -h is still version 3.3.1, and the man page is version 3.3_beta_20050823. I tend to believe that undocumented options are totally useless in a production distribution, and sometimes even harmful ;-) I tried to text-mine the mailing list, but couldn't figure out exactly what the new g_hbond is supposed to do with -r2 and -contact...

Is there an updated version of g_hbond in the cvs or somewhere ?

Cheers,
Michel

Found 1783 different contacts in trajectory

- Reduced number of hbonds from 1783 to 1783
- Reduced number of distances from 0 to 0
This might be the problem, maybe you need a different index file, e.g. for water you would take only the oxygens and a distance of 0.35 nm.


Back Off! I just backed up contact.ndx to ./#contact.ndx.2#

Back Off! I just backed up contactnum.xvg to ./#contactnum.xvg.2#
Average number of contacts per timeframe 0.000 out of 2.27314e+06 possible

Try different contact distances, it seems there are none.
