Re: [AMBER] Hbond analysis in ptraj

Hi,

I think the problem here is that you need to disable the angle
calculation by setting 'angle -1' (the manual says set angle 0 which
is a typo). So:

donor mask :1.O1P
acceptor lig N13 N13
hbond distance 3.5 time 2 series PO_lig out PO_lig.dat angle -1

That should work.
