Sir,

I used gromacs 4.6. I got the point - index file will tell how many
contacts an
atom has made during the trajectory. Whether it has made a contact with an
atom only in once or all the time, in the whole trajectory, it will be
mentioned.
Am I right?

Yes.


So from the problem I had, can I say that no. of contact/atom had increased
in S2 while the no. of contact/time decreased?

That depends. If 'contact' means unique interactions and 'atom' means e.g. all atoms in in your system, then yes.


Its a bit confusing though!

Thank you

To clarify: the -hbn output is not very indicative of how many contacts there were since some of them could be present in one frame but absent in 999999. The -num option, however, provides the number of contacts over
time, and its time average probably tells you much more in this case.

What version of g_hbond are you using? I remember there were several
bugfixes over the last 6 months or so. With the latest version(s) I believe that the -merge flag has no effect on contact analysis, which is correct.
