[gmx-users] how to modify the peptide end groups??

[Vivek Raut]

hi,

i want to change the end groups of GLY (glycine) segment to NH3+ & COO- . I 
tried to modify the ffgmx2.rtp file by adding hydrogens & oxygen as per the 
atom type defined in ffgmx2.atp. But when i try to make a .gro file for the 
peptide, it says that its not abel to match the hydrogens from .hdb &. tdb 
files.

is there a more logical way to modify the end groups?

if not, then how to modify the .hdb & .tdb files??
