Dear Tsjerk,

Thanks for the suggestion but when I use -merge command it says segmentation error. Let me put the problem in a more elaborated way.

I am running this simulation on insulin. It has two chains "a" and "b" which are independent fragments but there are two inter disulphide bonds between the two chains. If I keep the two chains as a single molecule (as -merge command does) gromacs could recognize the inter dishlphide bonds but while running the following error appears:

Range checking error:
Explanation: During neighborsearching, we assign each particle to a grid
based on its coordinates. If your system contains collisions or parameter
errors that give particles very high velocities you might end up with some
coordinates being +-Infinity or NaN (not-a-number). Obviously, we cannot
put these on a grid, so this is usually where we detect those errors.
Make sure your system is properly energy-minimized and that the potential
energy seems reasonable before trying again.

When do you get this error (i.e., minimization, equilibration, production)? Usually this type of error comes up from a poorly minimized/equilibrated structure. I agree with Tsjerk that using -merge is the right way to form your disulfide, so I assume something else is going wrong during your system preparation. If you'd like to provide details on what you're doing in terms of minimization/equilibration, and the contents of the relevant .mdp files, we may be able to detect problems.

Where as, if I keep these two as separate molecules it couldnt recognize the two inter disulphide bonds but its running. Now it is adding hydrogens to the sulhur atoms.

Is there any way to fix this problem ? Is there any way to edit the topology file to remove the added hydrogen atoms ?

Thanks
Ram.

    Hi Ram,

    Check the option -merge of pdb2gmx.

    Cheers,
