Hi users,

I was wondering if there is an easy and quick way to get a frame-wise binding energy between 2 groups of chains (chain ABC vs DE) in an existing trajectory. This is not indented to be an actual binding free energy approach but rather a rough indicator if the binding between two chains increases or decreases during simulation time. This should work like a protein/protein docking scoring function which assigns binding scores to single conformations. Is there a direct approach on an existing xtc (even if water was removed and not all steps were written)? Maybe like g_hbond but in addition with terms like Gvdw, Gdeformation, Ghydrophobic etc. Alternatively (and probably much more time and resource consuming), would it be possible to obtain this by the rerun option of mdrun (adjusted energy monitoring groups (the original setup was "energygrps =
protein    SOL"))?


Using energygrps is the closest you'll get without modifying the code. You'll get decomposed short-range nonbonded terms, which can perhaps provide some
indicator of the strength of the interaction between the two entities.

Hmm ok if Gromacs does not provide something like this then I ask the question a little bit different: Does someone know a pure scoring function for protein/protein interaction? It should not be a complete docking program but rather something which can simply evaluate given conformations (coming from an MD trajectory) ... and it should also not be a webserver (like ClusPro) but a downloadable binary because I want to test a quite high amount of conformations. Something like XSCORE [J Comp Aid Des, 16: 11-26. 2002] but instead of ligand/protein for protein/protein interactions.

Cheers,
Bernhard
