Hi Justin,
I am having following doubts regarding umbrella sampling of phosphate
ion binding to my protein .
1. As per the tutorial, I need to fix an immobile reference. In my case
which region do I have to fix as my protein consists of one single
chain. Since I am studying the binding and unbinding of ion, shall I
fix the ion fixed. If it's so, then do I have to give a different chain
name for it as my complex doesnot chain name for ion/ligand.
You don't need an immobile reference just because my tutorial did. I had a
particular need to do so. For your purpose, I highly doubt it's necessary.
You're looking at small molecule-protein interactions, not protein-protein
interactions.
2. What should be the size of box and how do I know where to place the
protein's COM in box (the precise location).
The absolute COM is somewhat irrelevant; all distances during pulling are
relative. You can place the protein in a certain location in the box for
convenience if you like. The box size must be greater than twice the pull
distance, as explained in the tutorial. The amount that you wish to pull will
dictate both the location of the protein and the box size.
