Preparation of Solutes

Similar to monomer_prep, we annotate solute topologies to aid specific calculations. At present these annotations are only needed to label solute atoms involved in hydrogen bonding.

Summary of Annotations

Symbol Description More info
H Specifies a hydrogen that can participate in a hydrogen bonding interaction Hydrogen Bonding
D Specifies a hydrogen bond donor atom Hydrogen Bonding
A Specifies a hydrogen bond acceptor atom Hydrogen Bonding

Hydrogen Bonding

In order to identify hydrogen bonds in a trajectory, one must specify which hydrogen atoms are able to participate in such an interaction as well as which atoms are hydrogen bond donors and which are hydrogen bond acceptors.
