Hi,
I have used gromacs 4.0.7 to do MD simulation of two solutes A & B
in water ( solvent) .
Initially, I had set "energy groups = system " and used mdrun to do the
simulation.
Now,I wanted to get the potential energy contribution from due to
interaction of A-A, B-B,A-B A-solvent, B-solvent, solvent-solvent.
For that I followed some discussions in mailing list regarding using
mdrun -rerun option:
This is what I did:
I used make_ndx and created 3 groups: A, B and solvent.
Now, I modified the grompp.mdp file so that I have now
energy groups = A B solvent
Then I used grompp -c conf -f grompp -n index -o topol
Then I used mdrun -s -rerun traj_old.xtc
( here traj_old.xtc is the old xtc file I obtained during the original
mdrun)
But, now, after using this -rerun option , if I try to use the g_energy
on the resulting ener.edr file to obtain the individual potential
energy of interaction for A-A, B-B , A-B, A-solvent
I get following output
Here is the output from g_energy -f ener.edr :

It provides me contribution from each of the energy groups on nonbonding
terms: LJ(SR),Coulomb(SR),Coulomb(14),LJ(14) . But, it does NOT provide
me their contribution to Bonding term( i.e bond,angle,
U-B,RB,improper-Dih) !!
As a result, I am a not sure how to get the net potential energy from
each of the 3 energy groups. Am I doing something wrong ? Do I need to
use any other utilities ?
Using energygrps only allows you to decompose nonbonded interactions. You
cannot decompose bonded interactions, potential, kinetic energy, etc.

Any help will be useful.
