[gmx-users] Regarding calculation of Hydrogen-Bond

The problem you are running into is that the tool you are using is not
designed to be used in this way. As a suggestion for alternatives, you
could use gmx pairdist to find all N and OW atomtypes within some distance
of each other and then run that through gmx angle. You could also consider
e.g. using MDAnalysis where it is pretty easy to redefine the h-bond donors
and acceptors.
