The comment from Justin and your answer to it were pretty convincing.
I think the problem is solved :)).

Tom is correct to get T with g_energy on a simulation that ran with one
Tcoup, you need to rerun the trajectory (trr) with a tpr in which you
define two Tcoup. This should give you T for each group.

I calculated temperatures with

g_traj -f md2.trr -s md2.tpr -n index.ndx -ot -ng 5
I did not know you could get the temperature throught g_traj ... the -ot option is the one
giving you the temperature?


Yes.

Do you get the same temperature difference with g_energy? Or may be the info is not in there? May be you could rerun you trajectory using a new tpr where you define two different temp coupling groups. And see if you observe the same temperature given by
g_energy.

It's possible that I'm doing something wrong, but I couldn't convince g_energy to give me the temperature of different groups when I used a single thermostat for the entire system. If I use two temperature coupling groups, I get the expected results.

As Justin pointed out, it looks like the error was mine for not understanding the details of g_traj. When I manually correct for the degrees of freedom, I get temperatures for Protein/Sol that are close enough to each other (i.e. within a couple of standard deviations).
