[gmx-users] GROMACS command for energy calculation

Dear Justin,
 
For example, I want to calculate the energy between residue 50 and residue 100, then I create an index file (A), then in the MDP file I will insert energygryp=A (with indec file extension or not?), then do the rerun, am I right?
 
Cheers,
 
Acoot

The help information from make_ndx is what you need.  Type "help" at the prompt 
(without quotes) and you will see examples.

For instance, to select residue 52 of chain A:

ch A & r 52

That creates a group that you can then use as an energygrp in the .mdp file.
