[gmx-users] RE: Converting from AMBER to GROMACS

[Jordi Camps]

Hi all!

Paste back the coordinates of my original file is my next step, but because
of the change in atom name AND number I must compare the original
coordinates and the new coordinates and select the closest one for
substitution. Which method do you think that will be more precise? Minimal
difference? Minimal root mean squared?

This cold be avoided if someone can ensure that pdb2gmx ALWAYS change O->O2
and OXT->O1. Then I could select the atoms by name, which is easier and we
won't be guessing.

Thanks for your help :-)

Not that I know of. The first step, deleting the oxygen, is part of the 
initial consistency check of your input file. At this stage, it is hard 
to make pdb2gmx already aware of a possible carbonyl group at the terminus.

You can always paste back in the coordinates from your input file, into 
the pdb2gmx output file...
