Dear Gromacs Users,

Is there a way in Gromacs to calculate the interaction energy between any two 
neighbor lipids dynamically? Since the neighbor lipids change over time in the 
trajectory file specifying a static energy groups in the input script will not 
help.

Is there a way to accomplish this?

One could use the g_select tool to define dynamic groups but again the energy 
file needs a predefined groups which probably makes the g_select tool useless 
in this case?


One way that you might approach it is to use mdrun -rerun. You could order the lipids with respect to the lipid of interest, such that the reference lipid is always molecule N and the nearest lipid is always written as N+1 in the ordered trajectory file. Then use normal index groups as your energygrps in the .mdp file and recalculate the energies with mdrun -rerun.
