Hello:
energy for energygrps:I am trying to estimate the polar solvation energy of a
76 residueprotein at standard conditions.  I am using the gromacs 4.5.3 dp
release.  I have set up a simulation with the solvated  (using spce water)
protein.I have defined two energygrps: Protein SOL in the *.mdp file.  I have
run the simulation and have then run g_energy on the *.edr file.  I get the
following choices from g_energy:

I pick Coul-SR:Protein-SOL as a component of the polar solvation energy.I note
that the energy magnitude seems extremely high:
Energy                      Average   Err.Est.       RMSD
Tot-Drift-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Coul-SR:Protein-SOL
        -8343.86         46    193.457    -192.93  (kJ/mol)
This seems unreasonable to me.  I wanted to understand how mdrun was 
calculating this value.  Perhaps it is accumulating energies overmany frames.  
What part of the code (force.c ...) handles thiscalculation so I can verify its 
action and assess whether these numbersare useful.

It's not an accumulated value; it's an average. Confirm with the time series printed as a result of your g_energy command.

g_enemat:Also, I tried running g_enemat on this with the following groups.dat 
file.
2ProteinSOL
I use the command:
g_enemat  -f ub_short.edr -e 100
and get:

Many problems have been reported with g_enemat, especially in an ancient version like the one you're using. It won't give you anything useful, anyway.
