[gmx-users] Hydrogen bond with chlorine

[Dhawal Shah]

Thanks a ton, Erik. I have looked in similar questions and found similar answers to use -contact option. But it did not help. Neither for me nor for the one who has asked the question earlier.

I am trying the following command

g_hbond -f md_2ns_nopbc.xtc -s md_2ns.tpr -num hbCl-Urea.xvg -contact

This prompts me to select the groups. I select Urea and CL as my groups. 

Eventually it still gives zero bonds/contacts.

However, rdf shows several CL around UREA.

Any ideas on this?

Thanks,
Dhawal

Others have asked for this functionality before and it would make sense to implement it. However, no one is working on that at the moment and I suspect no one will on the short term since the analysis framework will be overhauled eventually. For now, you can use g_hbond -contact, which allows for atoms other than [ON] to be taken into account, but will omit the angular criterion entirely.
