[gmx-users] g_hbond -ac -life

2010-11-24 Thread shahab shariati
Dear gromacs users

I used g_hbond -f .trr -s .tpr -n .ndx -ac -life.

Can anyone clarify last 2 columns in hblife.xvg and last 4 columns hbac.xvg
files by details. Also, I want to know what is difference between p(t) in
hblife.xvg and c(t) in
hbac.xvg file? which of them is more suitable for HB lifetime?

any help will highly appreciated

For hblife, I don't know. in hbac.xvg the first column is the 
autocorrelation function (acf) with a (somewhat dubious) correction to 
compensate for a finite system (the acf sohuld approac zero for large 
distances, but for a periodic finite system the tail is proprotional to 
1/N, N being the number of particles). The second one is the 'raw' acf. 
Third column is the cross correlation between the hb-existence functions 
and corresponding contact-existence function (contacts fulfil the 
distace criterium but not the angular criterium). The fourth column is 
the derivative of the first column.


The problem with -life, as far as I know, is that it models the hbond 
breaking/formation as a simple one step process, which may not be a good 
description. See the Luzar and Chandler papers for the theory behind the 
constants reported by g_hbond -ac. Therefore I'd use -ac to determine 
the rate for hb breaking.


Cheers,

Dear Erik

thanks.

thus -ac is only for determine the rate for hb breaking. is it true? or
there is other usable case for -ac option?

And formation. And equillibrium constant.
