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!
