[gmx-users] Simulation of protein at specific pH

2011-04-24 Thread prerna bhardwaj
Dear Gromacs User,

I want to simulate my protein at a specific pH. Using H++ server I have
generated my .pdb file at pH 5. But pdb2gmx is showing all the  usual fatal
error like Atom HB3 in residue MET 1 not found in rtp entry with 17
atoms. But I can't use -ignh option, because it is bringing back at the
same normal stage. So what should I do I want to carry out simulation at pH
5.

Thanks
Prerna

It sounds like you should indeed be using -ignh because you have a malformed 
input.  Under no conditions should the beta-carbon of methionine ever have three 
protons.  Carbon atoms can't have five bonds.  Either the atom naming in your 
.pdb file is wrong (which will cause pdb2gmx to fail) or the protonation state 
is wrong (which will cause pdb2gmx to fail in the absence of -ignh).


You can set the protonation state of any titratable residues and termini using 
pdb2gmx -inter, in concert with -ignh, which appears to be necessary in your case.

It doesn't have three protons but the official (IUPAC/IUPAB) side chain 
atom naming is: CG (counts as 1) HB2 HB3, so the H++ server is correct, 
and the braindead force fields are wrong.



Either the atom naming in your .pdb file is wrong (which will cause
pdb2gmx to fail) or the protonation state is wrong (which will cause
pdb2gmx to fail in the absence of -ignh).

[gmx-users] Virtual site at COM of more than 4 atoms

2011-04-24 Thread Sikandar Mashayak
Hi

I am not sure , even after reading the manual, about how to specify virtual
site in topology file which is located at com of 5 atoms. If I were to
specify it by using [ virutal_sitesn] then how to specify weights, so that
 vsite is at COM?

thanks
sikandar
