Having only browesd through the papaer very briefly, I can't see how the protonation state was chosen. The modelling part of the paper wasn't that informative. There is a web service called H++ that can make pKa estimates for titrating sites. Not sure how accurate it is though. It uses continuum electrostatics that may not be accurate enough for pKa estimates (see e.g. reviews by Warshel from 1991 and 2006). I've never used H++ myself, only heard about it.

Thanks Justin. I haven't find any such tutorial or exact relevant research paper. Find some paper though (http://peds.oxfordjournals.org/content/16/12/1017.full.pdf+html ), not sure how they have done.

        Friends,

        Need a Gromacs tutorial to find effect of pH on catalytic
        side. Any help?


    There probably isn't one.  If it isn't at
    http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Tutorials or you can't find
    it with Google, then it doesn't exist.

    You'll probably want to look into the ability of pdb2gmx to alter
    side chain protonation state, and otherwise base your procedures
    on published literature. You may need to use QM/MM rather than
    vanilla MD for this type of process, depending on your system and
    your goals.
