[gmx-users] addition of all hydrogens in pdb2gmx

[Tsjerk Wassenaar]

Hi Sridhar,

pdb2gmx adds all hydrogens _according to the force field definition_
(and a database file describing how to add which hydrogen where).
If you want to have all hydrogens "satisfying the valencies", you need
to choose a force field that includes them, i.e. an all-atom force
field. Maybe it would be good to read a bit more about united atom /
all atom force fields and such.

Cheers,

Tsjerk
