[gmx-developers] residue-residue interaction energies

[aar2163 at columbia.edu]

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the reply. This energy decomposition will actually be part
of an automated analysis protocol which will be applied in a very large
number of cases, so I do not want to generate the edr files for all
possible pairs of residues and have the extra step of extracting  
averages from these files. I have already done the "script writing"  
approach and I think it is worth the effort to have this implemented  
in a faster way. Any further advice will be appreciated.

Thank you,
Andre.
