[gmx-users] Fw:some waters in active site of receptor

2013-03-02 Thread aixintiankong
Dear,
there are three waters in active site of receptor,mediating the binding of 
ligand with target protein. i want to study the three waters how to affect the 
binding of ligand with target protein and the contribution to the stability of 
the system.
   In order to avoid the three waters exchange with the solvent waters, can i 
do the ligand-receptor in the implicit solvent. i will prepare two  diffrent 
recepor mode. The one is not water in active site and the other retain waters 
in the active site. my ideal is good or not?

 In order to study the role of the waters, i want to compare some diffrent 
system models. The first model have all a waters in active site ,the second 
model have two waters and the third have one water , the fourth have none water 
in acitve site. however, i don't know how to construct simulation models  of 
those. when i use the genbox program to add solvent to my system,  i find there 
are many other waters being added to the active site and i think the waters 
which are added by genbox program  maybe replace the initial three waters and 
then i can't study the waters in active site.
 please hlpe me and then tell me how to do it
Thank you very much!

genbox does not replace water molecules, it only adds more.  Your original three 
waters should always be the first three listed after the end of the 
protein/ligand coordinates.  You could always temporarily rename them (from SOL 
to HOH, for instance), run the solvation, and verify this yourself.  Running 
genion is the trickier part because the waters of interest stand a small chance 
of being randomly replaced, though the same renaming strategy could apply.


As for the intent of the study, that's harder to say, because if there's enough 
room for more water to flood in, what makes those waters so special?  They could 
easily be exchanged for others that might diffuse in.  I'm afraid I don't have 
any brilliant insights as far as experimental design goes.
