[gmx-users] Editing of the existing system

[James Starlight]

Justin,

Thanks again for attention to my problem.


I've checked my system and found that the problem was exactly in the 1388
atom ( wich is not properly minimized in accordance to the log files). This
atom is the Cb atom of Gln residue wich placed between one loop of the
protein and docked alpha helix of the peptide. The  surrounding of that
atom ( It's likely that other intracellular loops of the receptor as well
as long N term protect this side chain to rotate during the minimisation ).
When I've checked pdb files produced by exploding system I've found that
some atoms ( from that loops) were moved from the pereodic boundaries (
I've obtain very big system as the conseqyence surrounding by some single
atoms. So it all look like as big artifact :) )

So it seems that I need to use slightly different initial conformation of
the receptor because minimisation could not to resolve such crushes.


Thanks again


James
