Antw: Re: [gmx-users] calculate residence time for a protein complex

[Emanuel Peter]

Hi,

You could calculate the number of H-bonds with the option -num .
Out of this x,y plot you have the possibility to calculate the correlation time by the H-bond
autocorrelation function < Number-of-Hbonds (t), Number-of-Hbonds (t_0) >.
This H-bond correlation-time could be equal to the residence time, because
it is equal to the average H-bond-existence time.
The correlation time is the time until the H-bond-correlation function shows no
correlated configuration any more. 

At least from my experience - 

Bests,

Emanuel

Please do not cross-post requests for help to the mailing list and 
private individuals who have not advertised interest in such personal 
email. I do not even know what the definition of an H-bond residence 
time is. Hopefully somebody who does is reading the list.
