Hi Users: I have a question about dummy atoms. I try to simulate a protein that have a cysteine modified with a NO group. I found a NO model that have 3 sites, one at each atom and other in the center of mass (Biophys. Chem. 98 (2002) 183).
[ SNC ] [ atoms ] N N -0.28000 0 H H 0.28000 0 CA CH1 0.00000 1 CB CH2 0.00000 1 SG S 0.00000 1 ND NON -0.25000 2 CON COM 0.59500 2 OE NOO -0.34500 2 C C 0.380 3 O O -0.380 3 [ bonds ] N H gb_2 N CA gb_20 CA C gb_26 C O gb_4 C +N gb_9 CA CB gb_26 CB SG gb_30 SG ND gb_49 [ angles ] ; ai aj ak gromos type -C N H ga_31 H N CA ga_17 -C N CA ga_30 N CA C ga_12 CA C +N ga_18 CA C O ga_29 O C +N ga_32 N CA CB ga_12 C CA CB ga_12 CA CB SG ga_15 CB SG ND ga_47 SG ND OE ga_48 [ impropers ] ; ai aj ak al gromos type N -C CA H gi_1 C CA +N O gi_1 CA N C CB gi_2 [ dihedrals ] ; ai aj ak al gromos type -CA -C N CA gd_4 -C N CA C gd_19 N CA C +N gd_20 N CA CB SG gd_17 CA CB SG ND gd_13 CB SG ND OE gd_22 In my topology before all the bonded information I add the following lines with the appropiate numbers: [ dummies2 ] ;Dummy from funct a CON ND OE 1 0.064381 [ constraint ] ; ai aj funct b0 ND OE 2 0.12032 The problem is that the dummy colapse with the ND atom during the EM. What could be the problem? I need to add the dummies2 section in my topology if it is present in the residue topology and it is present in my pdb???
