[gmx-users] g_hbond account dieletric medium ?

[raja]

Thanks spoel,
The g_hbond merely report formation of hydrogen bonds because of two
electronegative atoms come closure to certain distance and angle. The
force field used to simulate is also not capable of modeling hydrogen
bond (Afraid whether I am right). If the h_bond computes the hydrogen
bonds inside the active site there is certainty is there since
dielectric is low inside but in outside will it be right to compute the
hydrogen bonds mere based on distance and angle between the two
electronegative atoms present in bulk solvent. There could be mere
electrostatic interaction. But how we can prove that proton is shared
between those atoms. 

Sorry if I am making any mistake at fundamental level.

With thanks!
