Well, if you look into the .rtp files for the GROMOS force field, you'll find heme in there, but maybe not in the right form or not in the format you have in the .pdb file. Whether something is in the residue (building block) topology libaray is not prinicply related to being amino acid. As if the

Hi, Well, the trace of the covariance matrix (thus the sum of the eigenvectors), should say something about overall flexibility. In that case, the observation that the protein with ligand seems more flexible than without is not completely incorrect. However, the question arises regarding the natur

Hi Tatsiana, No. g_rms requires the input trajectory and the reference structure to match. Actually, the trajectory (if .xtc format) does not even contain information regarding the atoms; only coordinates. Tools depend wholly on the reference structure for information on atom/residue names, etc.
