[gmx-users] using g_hbond between index gps of specific interest

[Erik Marklund]

Dear Somadwip,

I see. Assuming that the DNA comes before the ions and water their atoms will have the same indices, in which case you can use the same index file for both analyses. Just make strand_A and strand_B and have g_hbond use those groups, then compare the numbers.

Kind regards,
Erik
