Hi amber users
I am trying to analyze protein pairwise-forces for my protein. After
getting some files and running the following commands:

$ gmx_fda editconf -f 300.pdb -o pdb.gro
$ gmx_fda grompp -f test.mdp -c pdb.gro -p gromacs.top -o water.tpr
-maxwarn 5
$ gmx_fda make_ndx -f water.tpr

$ gmx_fda mdrun -nt 1 -rerun 1wq5_6.1.trr -pfi test.pfi -pfn index.ndx -s
water.tpr -pfa output.pfa -pfr output.pfr

I obtained index.ndx, output.pfa and out.pfr files.

In my pfr file, it shows the output with:

pairwise_forces_scalar
frame 0
0 5 3.390778e+01 48
0 4 2.046505e+00 48
0 6 -1.183681e+00 48
0 1 -1.727842e+01 112
0 2 -3.984052e+00 48
0 3 -2.990689e+00 48
0 146 4.887157e-01 48
0 148 -4.024438e-01 48
0 123 -9.690338e-01 48
0 118 -4.066894e-01 48

1. what do "48, 112" mean in my file?

2. I also attached the "test.mdp, and test.pfi" files I downloaded from the
web page, I wonder are these two files applied to all or should I be aware
of selecting them specifically?

3. during the step in generating index.ndx, I was asked to select:

0 System
  1 Protein
  2 Protein-H
  3 C-alpha
  4 Backbone
  5 MainChain
  6 MainChain+Cb
  7 MainChain+H
  8 SideChain

but after selecting 1, it generated all info including 0, 1, 2,
3....index..Do I have to make script to select only 1:protein? (index
attached too)

Three question, any answer would help..
