Dear Gromacs users,

I need to produce a list of the covalent bonds of my protein structure in the format:

Atom1   Atom2       binding energy

   1            2              50 kcal/mol
   1            3             150 kcal/mol
   ...


The binding energy is not the potential calculated by gromacs' force field but the diatomic binding energies available in the literature

I actually already have a list of the covalent bonds like this

Atom1   Atom2

   1            2
   1            3
   ...

and a table with the binding energies of each bond type like this

bond type       binding energy

   C-C               150 kcal/mol
   C=C               200 kcal/mol
   C-H               100 kcal/mol

but, in order to create such file, I'd need to build a script that scans my pdb looking for the atom types and working out whether in between there's a single or double bond according to the aminoacid's chemical formula.

Thus, I was wondering if Gromacs can perform any operation to make my work less painful.


Is there a command or an option able to output a similar file?

It would be already of great help to have a simple lookup table like this

Atom1   Atom2   single-or-double-bond?

   1            2                        single
   1            3                        double
   ...

I took a quick look to the files ffoplsaa.* but I couldn't quite find what I was looking for. Maybe the field "name" of the *.itp file could be useful.

Can you think of an easy solution?


Thanks,

Stefano
