Dera Tasneem,

First thing to check is if you have read the -hbn or -hbm output upside down. This is a common mistake. Seriously.

Kind regards,
Erik

Dear all

I am calculating hydrogen bond between protein and drug molecule using gmx
hbond tool. I am using default value for hydrogen bond radius.
Here is the command:
gmx hbond -f protein_drug.xtc -s protein+drug.tpr -hbn hbond.ndx -hbm
hbond.ndx
I am selecting group 1 and 13.
It shows many hydrogen bonds. Then I have calculated the percentage of
hydrogen bond using perl script. There are there hydrogen bonds that show a
significant existence. I wrote the snapshots of trajectories having all
three hydrogen bonds. In every snapshot, when visulaized with a
visulaization sofware such as chimera and LIGPLUS hydrogen bond of serin
does not exist though it shows hydrophobic interaction with drug molecule.
LIGPLUS gives a provision to show the missing hydrogen bond. When I have
plotted by taking consideration serin hydrogen bond, it shows a bond length
of 4.26 angstrom and like that in almost every extracted snapshot. In
existence map serin is showing 92% abundance of hydrogen bond. This problem
is occurring with serin only.

Why is this happening? Is there a cut off problem with the visualization
tools or something else?

Is there an method to write the hydrogen bond and there distance
simultaneously.

Thanks in Advance
Tasneem
