I only used pdb2gmx when I prepared the DNA which I created with nab. and the command that I used was:
make_ndx -f md_0_1.gro -o index.ndx after that then I press r10 and r17 I get : 14 r_10 : 64 atoms 15 r_17 : 64 atoms This are the coordinates for the residues: First strand: 10DA P 281 16.129 2.602

You can easily check (using a text editor) which atoms make_ndx is choosing. In theory, your approach is correct and very straightforward. Can you please provide? 1. Your exact make_ndx command 2. A few lines from residue 10DA of whatever coordinate file you're using 3. The index group produced from residue 10 Did you renumber the file at any point, for instance, with pdb2gmx? That is, whatever started out as residue 10 may not still be numbered as such in the topology and any resulting coordinate files produced from the simulation. Without knowing exactly what you're using as make_ndx input, it's hard to track down what's going on. -Justin > And then I check for Hbonds with g_hbond I get 3 Hbonds, but between A and T > they form 2 Hbonds? > It seems I'm doing something wrong. > What can I do in this case? > Thanks in advance, > Best regards, > Hovakim > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > *От:* Justin Lemkul <jalem...@vt.edu> > *Кому:* Hovakim Grabski <hovakim_grab...@yahoo.com>; Discussion list for > GROMACS > users <gmx-users@gromacs.org> > *Отправлено:* четверг, 29 ноября 2012 1:33 > *Тема:* Re: [gmx-users] Hbonds between Adenine and Thymine > > > > On 11/28/12 3:43 PM, Hovakim Grabski wrote: > > Dear Gromacs users, > > I set a simulation of 26 base pairs of DNA with Ethidium Bromide for 5 >ns. > > After a while Thymine rotated for about 70 degrees and then returned to its > initial position. > > I wanted to find out hbonds between Adenine and Thymine but with make_ndx > things don't work so well. > > How can I select Adenine from one strand and Thymine from the other strand > and then run g_hbond ? > > You can use make_ndx to select any residues you want.
