Dear gmx users, I am studying the adsorption behavior of a molecule ( molecule 1) on a surface (molecules 2). Based on the production run, I calculated the interaction energy between molecule 1 and molecules 2 by g_energy. Here comes the first question: Why only short range interactions between 1 and 2 are displayed, namely, Coul_SR and LJ_SR? So the interaction energy E 1_2 I calculated is just the sum of Coul_SR+LJ_SR. Will this bring about huge errors?
After this, I'd like to know the individual contributions of the components of molecule 1 to the interaction energy between 1 and 2. For example, molecule 1 is composed of A, B, C and D resdues. So again, by g_energy, I got interaction energy between A, B, C and D with 2, respectively, denoted by E A_2, E B_2, E c_2 and E D_2. Still, these interaction energies are the sum of Coul_SR+LJ_SR. Then comes the second question: Why the sum of E A_2, E B_2, E c_2 and E D_2 does not equal to E 1_2? I found there was big difference between them, sometimes as large as 50 kJ/mol. Could anybody give me some hints or suggestions please? Thank you very much in advance!
