Thanks a lot Justin for the valuable feedback about generating different 
velocities a few days ago...
 
I would like to discuss some analysis questions with the gromacs users, I tried 
to find solutions to the following points in the literature and/or the mailing 
list, unfortunately, couldn't find any..
 
1- Traget: measuring the energetics of interaction (Coulomb and LJ) between 
certain loops within the protein structure using g_energy or g_enemate
Plan: making index files with those specific loops and use the .ndx file to 
introduce these groups to the g_energy using the -n option as mentioned in one 
of the threads in the mailing 
list(http://lists.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-users/2008-December/038588.html)
Problem: g_energy compiled from gormacs 4.5.2 version doesn't have an option 
for index files!!
               g_enemate has an option for groups.dat file, when I changed my 
loops.ndx to loops.dat and tried 
               to use it with g_enemate, g_enemate was not able to deal with 
it!!
Question: Is there anyway I can get the above measurment using gromacs 
analytical tools?
 
2- Traget: measuring time evolution of the size of a binding pocket along the 
trajectory.
Approach: I was thinking that the volume of a a binding pocket between cerain 
loops of the studied protein can be related to the number of water molecules 
being able to occupy this pocket which by changing along the time trajectory 
can give a quantitative (yet simplified) picture about the time evolution of 
the volume of that pocket
Question: is there anyway to measure the size (volume) of a given binding 
pocket using .ndx file of the surrounding loops and a specific analysis tool in 
Gromacs?
Question: If the answer to the above question is no. Would my approach of 
measuring the number of the solvent molecules occupying this pocket make sense? 
and if yes, how can I do this using Gromacs analytical tools?
 
I would appreciate discussing the above questions and giving any hints or 
answers
 
Regards
Hassan
