> > 4. PYP Connection (Taylor Kaplan)
Are the connections between the chromophore and cysteine there? You can check this by scanning your topology file for the indices of the sulphur and C1 atom in the [ bonds ] section. You can use the specbond the attach the chromophore to the protein. THis so far always worked for us. hope it helps, Gerrit > Message: 4 > Date: Thu, 21 Apr 2011 00:48:07 -0700 (PDT) > From: Taylor Kaplan <taylor_kap...@yahoo.com> > Subject: [gmx-users] PYP Connection > To: Discussion list for GROMACS users <gmx-users@gromacs.org> > Message-ID: <441414.8442...@web36601.mail.mud.yahoo.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" > > Hi Rama, > > I was looking at the tdb files for the amber03 force field ( I didn't > change anything, i just read with the cat command ), anyways I didn't see > anything written in the tdb -n or -c terminal files.
