Re: [AMBER] cpptraj hbond: how to efficiently gather receptor-ligand hydrogen bonding statistics?

Hi,

The only way I can currently think of to specifically get h-bonds
between only two molecules is with two hbond commands, e.g. (here
receptor mask is :REC and ligand mask is :LIG):

hbond REC-LIG donormask :REC acceptormask :LIG out Nhbond.agr avgout REC-LIG.dat
hbond LIG-REC donormask :LIG acceptormask :REC out Nhbond.agr avgout LIG-REC.dat

You can then construct the total h-bonds observed from Nhbond.agr,
REC-LIG.dat, and LIG-REC.dat.

The issue is that the code currently does not have a simple way to
exclude hydrogen bonds based on what molecule they are in (except for
solvent of course but that's a special case and certainly not
applicable here). I think what the h-bond command needs is a keyword
that will specify tracking of intra-molecular h-bonds only. It's added
to my to-do list.

Hope this helped,

-Dan
