[gmx-users] How to tell if the molecule is correctly reduced?

[Roland Schulz]

Hi,

if the gro file written by pdb2gmx contains the same number of hydrogens
then before, than you disulfide bonds haven't changed. pdb2gmx automatically
forms disulfide bridges if the atoms are within some distance (see
specbond). Look at the output of pdb2gmx and make sure it is doing what you
expect/want.
