[gmx-users] SS bridges

Hi there,

I have a protein with two chains. There are also lots of intra SS-bridges and 
one inter SS-bridge. When I invoke pdb2gmx it sems to regognize them properly  
however in the output gro file the Cys residues are protonated and does not 
form SS bridges. 

Usage of -ss option does not allow me to select Cyts residues, it is not 
interactive! 

How I can manage this problem?

Here the output of the pdb2gmx
