Sir,

From Index file which gives the unique contacts -
First section the list of atoms I want to analyse

When measuring contacts, you don't measure one group, you measure the number of contacts that occur between groups A and B, which considers all atoms in those two groups.

[ C_CA_CB_CD_CD1_CD2_CE_CE1_CE2_CE3_CG_CG1_CG2_CZ_CZ2_CZ3_CH2 ]

second section : the unique contacts of each atoms with others

You don't define contacts in an index group, you define atoms that may or may not make contacts with others.

[ contacts_C_CA_CB_CD_CD1_CD2_CE_CE1_CE2_CE3_CG_CG1_CG2_CZ_CZ2_CZ3_CH2 ]

There's something very wrong with this index file. How did you generate it? The presence of a repeated atom number (5) and a nonsensical one (7ws) leads me to believe that you've done something incorrect. Did this come from g_hbond? It looks like the output of -hbn, which is only useful for decoding hbmap.xpm, nothing else.

From this second section Total contacts was extracted for each atom and
compared with
that from a second simulation.
These contacts was matching with the contacts of the 3rd column from
g_mdmat output -
@ legend string 0 "Total/mean"
@ legend string 1 "Total"
@ legend string 2 "Mean"
@ legend string 3 "# atoms"
@ legend string 4 "Mean/# atoms"
#res    ratio  tot      mean  natm  mean/atm
   1     1.001   11    10.991    1    10.991
   2     1.244   10     8.041    1     8.041
   3     1.166   13    11.147    1    11.147
   4     1.036   11    10.615    1    10.615


While the time dependent contacts in the xvg file shows that the first
simulation has more
contacts than the second one..


That shouldn't be unexpected. Two independent simulations have no guarantee of doing the same thing, that's why sampling is so important.
