[gmx-users] [gmx-developers] How to get IEM of a protein

[Justin Lemkul]

The developers list is for discussions related to code and GROMACS 
development. I am CCing your message over to the gmx-users mailing list, 
which is for general GROMACS questions and discussion.

Start with some basic tutorial material. To get what you want, you need 
to generate a topology, making use of some existing functional form and 
associated parameters (which is the way to get energies) and compute the 
energy with mdrun -rerun on your configuration. All of this still 
requires you to understand how to generate that topology and assemble a 
sensible .tpr file.
