Hi Justin,
Thanks a lot!
Things worked.
Now I, however, have a different problem in extension to what I am doing.
I was able to created a sphere of water and methanol around a
polypeptide and 1 Li+ ion.
editconf -f 1li.gro -c -box 12 12 12 -o onlyli.gro
genbox -cp onlyli.gro -cs mix.gro -shell 3 -o li_sol.gro
genbox -cp li_sol.gro -cs mix.gro -shell 3 -o 6nmshell.gro
editconf -f his20.gro -d 0 -o onlyhis.gro
editconf -f onlyhis.gro -c -box 12 12 12 -o hisinbox.gro
genbox -cp hisinbox.gro -cs 6nmshell.gro -o 6sys.gro
Now I need to add few more Li ions and anions in the sphere.
I tried doing that,
genbox -cp 6sys.gro -ci 1dhb.gro -nmol 20 -o added_dhb.gro -p topol.top
(1dhb.gro is 2,5-dihydrobenzoic acid anion)
But, since the sphere 6sys.gro is essentially in a box, the dhb anions
...some got randomly placed inside the sphere and some in the open
spaces of the box in which 6sys.gro is sitting.
How can I place all the anions and then Li+ ions specifically inside
the sphere?
That's what genion is for.
I take that back, genion doesn't work for polyatomic ions. The better approach
is to construct your system with solute, ions (which in this case are just other
molecules floating around), etc, before adding the sphere of solvent.
