I couldn't get you. Does it means that for pre-positioning say 40 molecules of Arginine do I need to create 40 pdb of different coordinate then combine it with pdb of protein and then use pdb2gmx. I want to use different number of free positively charged Arginine molecule in simulation box along with protein.

Treat the system like you would any other "normal" protein. Run pdb2gmx on a coordinate file of a single molecule and proceed with building your system, which can include replication (i.e. genconf to get multiple molecules), genbox (to add other molecules and solvent), and genion. For systems with different numbers of arginine, simply alter the corresponding line in the [molecules] directive of the topology that pdb2gmx wrote.

    Hi Justin
    I prepared a box of SOL and arginine Hydrochloride. But when I
    solvate my protein with this box now the positively charged
    arginine is as solvent and this causes problem in grompp. It gives
    error like "No such Molecule types ARG" etc. Solvating arginine
    with water and preparing a box was without error. which forcefield
    in gromacs has inbuilt .itp file for free amino acid which I can
    include in my .top file.

    See http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/How-tos/Multiple_Chains.
    Pre-position the non-water molecules, use pdb2gmx, solvate.

            If someone can help, I will be grateful.


        Isn't this just a protonated arginine (normal state for
        neutral pH) with a chloride counterion?  There's nothing
        special about it, just run a coordinate file through pdb2gmx
        with the force field of your choice.
