[gmx-users] How to keep intact hdrogen coordinates from a PDB file

[Nicolas SAPAY]

Hello everybody,

I want to convert a .pdb file into a .gro using pdb2gmx but I have some
troubles with hydrogen coordinates : they are all modified by pdb2gmx
during the process. Actually, all hydrogens have been added previously
(with CHARMM), as well as the N- and C-terminal patches. When I give my
pdb file to pdb2gmx. all the coordinates of these atoms are (slighlty)
changed, according the rules defined in the .hdb and .tdb files, I guess.
I have tried without the -ignh option, but N- and C-terminal atoms coming
from the .tdb file are not recognized by pdb2gmx. I have tried with the
-ignh option but that modified my coordinates...

Any suggestion will be welcome!

Nicolas
