Hi all,

I am trying to simulate a dimer (say A2) where another protein is docked (say 
B) which is covalently attached with a prosthetic group.

My question is how to do that.

so far what i did ...

I generate a gro and itp file from PRODRG corresponding to that molecule and 
modified the charges based on the protocol mentioned in the paper

http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ci100335w

but,

1) the atom which has to be linked with the protein B has taken a H which 
needed to be stripped; then how to generate the link with protein B.


Parameters can change substantially upon deprotonation. You should parametrize the prosthetic group with an appropriate model of the link itself.

2) The prosthetic group has a S atom in thioester form; I did not find a place 
that how and what charge to be assigned to that atom.


You need some suitable model compound that you can parametrize against free energy of hydration and the neat liquid state, per GROMOS convention.

3) to to generate .rtp file for GROMOS 96 43a2 force field?
