[gmx-users] crystal water

[Maik Goette]

Hi

If its a crystal water from the x-ray structure, it will be included 
automatically by pdb2gmx. If you want to place a new hydrogen, it may be 
a bit more difficult because of the missing coordinates. Perhaps you 
should try to fill the box with water and hope, that one water sits in 
the place, you want it to.
Hmm...I would suggest to make a short mdrun and have a look, if your 
water moves away from the location, and if another takes its place.
If it moves away and no other water will take its position, it may be 
useful to restrain it.
