Dear Justin,

Thanks for the reply.

In that case, if I want the SOL-Backbone interaction energy, how shall I
choose the energygrps? Is it possible to have such a group in the index.ndx
file?

You have to have fully intact charge groups, which means including H atoms and whatever else the force field characterizes as a full charge group. You might be able to define such a group, but the quantity that comes out of the calculation probably doesn't have any physical meaning.

Dear All,

I want to calculate the interaction energy between water and protein
backbone. However, in mdp file, when I am using

energygrps = SOL backbone

​grompp is returning the following error.

Fatal error:
atoms 1 and 2 in charge group 1 of molecule type 'Protein_chain_A' are in
different energy groups

Can someone kindly point out my mistake?​

You can't make the backbone a separate energy group. Look at what atoms 1
and 2 are - likely it's the N-terminal N and one H atom, which have to be
in the same group to do a group-based, pairwise energy decomposition.
Whatever groups you establish have to contain full charge groups.
