[gmx-users] big protein dynamics with gromacs 3.2.1

[Tsjerk Wassenaar]

Hi Adriana,

pdb2gmx should be able to detect SS bonds automatically, though in some
cases fails to do so (if the distance is too large). If you know that you're
missing a SS bond you can add an entry to the file specbond.dat in the
directory $GMXDIR/share/top (maybe first copy the file to your directory).
Copy the line referring to the cys-bridge and change the distance to the
distance in your structure. Running through pdb2gmx should then fix your
problem.

With regards to the other issue, neither editconf nor genbox changes your
structure (there's no cutting). There may be shifts over the periodic
boundaries, but these don't affect the resulting simulation system.

Cheers,

Tsjerk
