Dear Justin,

You said before "you can obtain some idea by using g_mindist to calculate hydrophobic and hydrophilic contacts between the protein and ligand".

That is, I can explore whether there is hydrophobic or hydrophilic feature of ligand using g_mindist tool. is this correct? I did the calculations related to protein_ligand interactions (protein contains two ligand). I plotted the graphs of distance and numcount versus simulation time for each ligand. The number of contacts in ligand x is more than the other ligand y. Which of this ligands are hydrophobic? Which is hydrophilic? I know you are not private tutor. Please don't be angry :(


I certainly hope I haven't given the impression that I'm some angry tyrant. I'm happy to answer reasonable questions across the list, time permitting.

To obtain information about hydrophobic and hydrophilic contacts, you need to use special index groups that tell g_mindist (or any other tool) which atoms to consider. In this way, you can count how many of each type of contact evolve over time.
