Why were you only expecting 2 hydrogen bonds here? Glu has 2 potential
hydrogen bond acceptors (OE1 and OE2) and Lys has 3 potential
hydrogens to donate (HZ1-3), so there are 6 potential hydrogen bonds
(and indeed that is what you see). The only reason you would get fewer
hydrogen bonds is if one or both amino acids were constrained somehow
(by e.g. steric clashes).
