Hi, 
Thank you all for the response, Yes, the backbone of my protien  does not have 
the required -Hydrogens for the program to calculate the hydrogen bonds. The 
option 6 (Mainchain +H)  worked for me. Still I am not clear as to what exactly 
are cut off angle 30 degrees and cut-off radius .35 nm mean in the program 
g_hbond. Is it considering the hydrogen bond angle of 120 +/- 30 ? In that case 
cut-off angle 60 & 120 in other versions does not make sense ... Kindly clarify 
my doubts 
regards 
sharada

Hi,
Just calculate the no. of atoms according to the choice of options and 
manually. you will understand why is it giving the error.  Secondly check how 
gromacs calculate the no. of hydrogen bonds. It uses the cut-off 0.35 nm and 30 
in version 3.3.1, but in earlier version the angle cut-off was 60 in version 
3.2 and 120 in version 3.1.

 dear gmx-users,
 
 I have a very fundamental query. I am trying to obtain the backbone hydrogen 
bonds formed during a 15ns simulation of a 35 long protein. When I do this by 
using g_hbond and selecting the Backbone groups, I am getting no hydrogen bonds 
at all . However, when I plot the hydrogen bonds for some of the structures 
picked up through the dynamics  using InsightII  I am able to see the backbone  
HBs in almost all of them.
  
 This is the command I am using:
 
  g_hbond -f  HBD1_15npep.trr -s HBD1_5mr_md.tpr -n HBD1_10n_nsl.ndx -num 
hnum.xvg -g hb.log
 
 this is the output I obtain and the hb.log file is not created :

 I haven't used this tool, but the problem looks like it is here. Are there any 
hydrogens in this group?
  

            
            use 6
