[gmx-users] MD simulation with varying pH

[Gaurav Goel]

Dear Peterson,

There's no magic wand for this. You'll need to find out pKa values of
titrable amino acids in your protein (in literature, MEAD software,
etc.). Then, you can protonate (pH<pKa) / deprotonate (pH>pKa)  those
group according to the pH.
