Sir,

Thank you very much for your reply. I wanted to calculate
Salt bridge in the whole protein so i am not mentioning the
residues involved. The problem with g_saltbr was that if I
have to calculate the accessibility of these atoms it will be
a problem because it gives the charge groups but not exact
atoms.

This is the reason I thought of using g_hbond. But I wanted
clarification from experts in using this method.

So Is there any problem if I use g_hbond?


Does this really give you any useful information? You'll get an output file with putative contacts derived from an arbitrary cutoff for any possible positive-negative pair defined in the index group. I think the g_dist approach is far more useful and gives you exact insight into specific pairs. It takes a bit more prep work, but looping the calculations is trivial to do to make them efficient.

You can use g_dist with specific atoms indices to calculate distances,
if you already have the information about atoms involved in salt
bridge interactions.

Kindly clarify my doubt regarding salt bridge calculation.

Dear users,

For calculating salt bridge in proteins I
am using g_hbond instead of g_saltbr.

In g_hbond I use contact and mention two
indices consisting of
group 1: ASP_GLU_&_OD1_OD2_OE1_OE2:
group 2: ARG_LYS_&_NZ_NE_NH1_NH2:

I use the command:
g_hbond_46 -f traj.xtc -s md.tpr -n index.ndx -contact -r 0.4 -hbm
matrix-sb.xpm -hbn index-sb.ndx -num num-sb.xvg -b 4000 -e 50000

Is this approach correct?

Thank you
Kavya
