[gmx-users] [Fwd: deprotonated systeine]

[David van der Spoel]

I work with a protein where 3 CYS redisidues make bond with a Zn atom by 
its SG atoms and HIS redisidue makes bond with a Zn atom by its NE2 in 
active site

I want to use deprotonated “cys”. In manual for “pdb2gmx “ clearly says 
on option of choosing Cys protonated state possibility but why that 
option not appearing while running “pdb2gmx” , just like for “Arg”, 
“His”, “Asp” and “Glu”.

Must i generate a specbond.dat entry for Cys-Zn  His-Zn linkage ?

And what type of histidine do I have to choose

0. H on ND1 only (HISA)

1. H on NE2 only (HISB)

2. H on ND1 and NE2 (HISH)

3. Coupled to Heme (HIS1)

  Best regards
