Dear GROMACS users,

In gromacs, the default values of the geometrical criterion of H-bond are
0.35 nm and 30 deg for spc water molecules. The acceptor and donor atoms of
H-bond in my system are different than in the water system. Therefore I
think that I should use suitable D-A distance and H-D-A (alpha) angle for my
system in order to  calculate the number of H-bond. I obtained the D-A
distance and the A-H-D angle from Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) but I
couldn’t find the H-D-A  angle from CSD.

I want to learn how I can obtain the H-D-A (alpha) angle.  If you can answer
me, I’ll be so glad.


The default settings do not apply just to SPC; in fact, they come from average values obtained from crystallographic databases. There are a few threads with fairly extensive discussions on this topic. Most papers that I see use similar, if not identical, settings to g_hbond.
