Hello Uday,
There is no hydrogen bond term in the NAMD potential. It only recognizes
these types of interactions as electrostatic pairs. Unless I have missed
an important feature update.
The vmd definition of a hydrogen bond can be changed within vmd for the
dynamic bonds representation. But the definition of distance is from the
oxygen to the donor nitrogen.
Regards
Brian
