Hello
     sorry to bother you again, sir!
I think there is some confusion regarding the simulation that I am doing.
So, I am describing again and it is as follows:
           I am trying to simulate four triplet peptides (Gly1-Pro-Gly2).

So, just forget what I said.
I remember someone was asking about multiple peptides, in the e-mail list.
I think that what people uasually do (never done though), is to give a
different chain for each peptide (A, B,C,D for e.g.).  In the pdb uploaded
in your previous e-mail, there was no chain id.
Pdb2gmx deals with multiple chains.
I don't know if its better to split your pdb into 4 pieces, one for each
tripeptide and create 4 topologies and merge them afterwards, or to use one
pdb with 4 chains of your peptide.

NUno


I have generated all the four peptides using InsightII and all
the four have different x,y and z coordinates.Also , I have
done the clipping of each peptides (i.e. NH2 in Gly1 and COOH
in Gly2).  Then I have generated  a pdb file in which all these
peptides are very far away from each other(in the sense of
coordinates).
when i used pdb2gmx -ignh  -f peptide.pdb -o peptide.gro  -p peptide.top
it genrates .gro and .top file but it also creates the bond between all
four peptides (which i dont want)
So, is there any option in gromacs to keep all these peptides seperately
as different seqments without creating peptide bond between them. (like
the "segment" flag in CHARMM)
I also checked it with pdb2gmx -ignh  -ter -f peptide.pdb -o peptide.gro
-p peptide.top but there too, the problem is same.

If I am not wrong then Dr. Peter Tieleman did the same with four
Alamethicin Helices using gromacs.

Kindly suggest me as to what is the alternative and how to proceed further.

Regards,
Alok
