        Hi Gromacs Users,
         I have calculated hydrogen bonds and collisions between my

        criteria adpoted by Gromacs I found impossible that number of
        hydrogen bonds were higher than number of collisions... And what
        is interesting in one of my residue I obtained result like
        this... All Hbonds with Glycine - 1872, All Collisions 704.
         Does anyone know how is it possible?

    I don't know how any of your numbers are possible (1872 H-bonds
    forming with a glycine?), or what you are defining as a collision
    and how you calculated it. Please provide the exact commands that
    you're using.  If you're equating a contact (e.g. from g_mindist)
    with a collision, then realize that the default criteria for a
    contact are very different than the geometric criteria for a
    hydrogen bond.

My system is made of 10 ligands and one protein. I used command: g_hbond -f md.trr -s md.tpr -n res91.ndx -num 91with10LIGbonds.xvg Where I specified in the index file two groups: 10 ligands and Glycine residue. So I have calculated hbonds (second column) and collisions (third column) and then I made a sum of all frames during 100 ns simualtion time (one frame every 50 ps) obtaining 1872 hbonds and 703 collisions between Glycine and 10 ligands. I did it with every residue to assess binding affinity of different amino acids.

I forgot to mention in the previous message that there is no value in summing the hydrogen bonds over time. Some of those H-bonds may be distinct, and others may be the same H-bond that has broken and subsequently re-formed. I doubt anyone would find real value in saying that 10 ligands formed 1872 H-bonds with glycine over a trajectory.

-Justin

Criteria for collision is distance <3.5 A, and fo hbond distance <3.5 A and angle. So when calcualting hbond and collisions the number of hbonds has has to be smaller while collision takes into account hbonds as welll. I obtained results like this for all other residues which seems to be correct. Am I right? Steven
