[AMBER] hydrogen bond printout

My input file to the ptraj hbond suite looks like this:

 

ptraj file1.prmtop << EOF

trajin file2.nc

donor mask :1-81.O

donor mask :1-81.N

donor ASP OD1

donor ASP OD2

donor GLU OD1

donor GLU OD2

acceptor LYS N H

...............

acceptor SER OG HG

hbond distance 3.0 angle 120.0 donor acceptor includeself series hb out
hb.out

EOF

 

When I run the script, the proper hb.out file is generated. I have a
couple of questions about this file.

 

 

What does the string of characters (e.g.
....*..**..*.............................) in the hydrogen bond printout
mean? I know that the characters ".,*,x,o,-, and ." refer to percentage
occupancy of the particular hydrogen bond. There are 46 such characters
at the end of the line that gives the hydrogen bonding data for two
H-bonded residues in the protein. Where did that number of 46 come from?


 

Also- the hydrogen bond printout has the following columns:

 

                                lifetime maxocc

         17.6 ( 12.8) 47

         14.0 ( 14.6) 53

         ...................

 

What do these numbers mean?

 

Thanks!

 

John
