Hi,
I have used gromacs 4.0.7 to do MD simulation of two solutes A & B in water ( solvent) . Initially, I had set "energy groups = system " and used mdrun to do the simulation.

Now,I wanted to get the potential energy contribution from due to interaction of A-A, B-B,A-B A-solvent, B-solvent, solvent-solvent. For that I followed some discussions in mailing list regarding using mdrun -rerun option:
This is what I did:
I used make_ndx and created 3 groups: A, B and solvent. Now, I modified the grompp.mdp file so that I have now energy groups = A B solvent
Then I used grompp -c conf -f grompp -n index -o topol

Then I used mdrun -s -rerun traj_old.xtc ( here traj_old.xtc is the old xtc file I obtained during the original mdrun)

But, now, after using this -rerun option , if I try to use the g_energy on the resulting ener.edr file to obtain the individual potential energy of interaction for A-A, B-B , A-B, A-solvent I get following output

Here is the output from g_energy -f ener.edr :

Select the terms you want from the following list by
selecting either (part of) the name or the number or a combination.
End your selection with an empty line or a zero.

It provides me contribution from each of the energy groups on nonbonding terms: LJ(SR),Coulomb(SR),Coulomb(14),LJ(14) . But, it does NOT provide me their contribution to Bonding term( i.e bond,angle, U-B,RB,improper-Dih) !! As a result, I am a not sure how to get the net potential energy from each of the 3 energy groups. Am I doing something wrong ? Do I need to use any other utilities ?

Using energygrps only allows you to decompose nonbonded interactions. You cannot decompose bonded interactions, potential, kinetic energy, etc.

Any help will be useful.
