[gmx-users] protonated cys -S

[Giacomo Bastianelli]

Hi Tsjerk,

the distance of the "not formed" S-S is 0.202
while the two "formed" S-S are 0.204 and 0.203.
Therefore, gromacs should recognize all three and
create the SS bonds.

CYS    SG    1    CYS    SG    1    0.2    CYS2    CYS2

this is the second line of my specbond.dat

Thanks,

Giacomo
