[gmx-users] Ligand coming out while trying Drug-enzyme tutorial

[vivek sharma]

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your response, it worked well for few molecule but not for all.
As I mentioned first I am doing docking and then processing receptor through
pdb2gmx and ligand through PRODRG server.
But number of Hydrogen atoms in docked ligand and PRODRG generated topology
are not same. Although, number of Hydrogens are same in PRODRG generated
topology and pdb file but I can't use them as they have modified co-ordinate
than docked ligand, and the docked ligand coordinates can't be used as they
dont have all Hydrogen atom as mentioned in topology file (.itp file).
Can you suggest a way to come out of this problem.

Thanks & Regards,
Vivek
