[gmx-users] Gromacs and system building

[Matteus Lindgren]

Hi all!

 

I am new to Gromacs and currently facing some beginners problems. I want to
create a urea and water solvent box, add protein and cut the cubic box into
a dodecahedron. 

I have been looking in the manual for gromacs programs that can do some
system building but cant really find what I want in genbox and genconf and
the others. 

 

If I want to translate a protein within a box, the protein has to be a
separate file and then translate it with editconf? No coordinate
manipulation for just one residue? 

How can I concatenate two coordinate files, .gro or .pdb, and how can I
renumber the residues when doing this? 

How can I remove all solvent outside of the dodecahedron from a cubic box?
In general, does gromacs have any molecule selection commands to use for
example to delete some molecules close to a certain residue or so?

 

I am used to Charmm and when using constant pressure algorithms the
trajectory shows the fluctuating volume of the box. Have those fluctuations
been removed in Gromacs trajectories? 

 

Thank you

Regards
