[gmx-users] adding metal-bonding parameters to a force field

Hi,

The distance I have set in specbond.dat must correct (req from Table 1). I
get them from literature.Please see this link:

http://www.google.com.tr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CC0QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fpubmedcentralcanada.ca%2Fpicrender.cgi%3Fartinstid%3D1482211%26blobname%3DNIHMS61946-supplement-File002.pdf&ei=GXk_U7XNG7GIyAOMvoBw&usg=AFQjCNGUfMCQZYegoRpLGg5D9GjpFsPCxQ&sig2=MtbMKLDYZBbb6ACkGJjyMA&bvm=bv.64125504,d.bGQ

The His-Zn bonds are correctly generated (req from Table 1). Histidine
nitrogen atoms (NE2 atoms in His94 and His96, ND1 atom in His119) are bound
to the Zn+2 ion. In addition Zn is bound to a water molecule.

You said "create a residue that contains Zn(HOH)". Do I need it? I have
already charge of Zn and each atom of HOH.

I am making these corrections in the right place. I am using Gromacs 4.5.5
on Ubuntu 12.1. The modified forcefield is in /usr/share/gromacs/top.

Everything seems normal after pdb2gmx command:
..
Identified residue HIS3 as a starting terminus.
Identified residue LYS261 as a ending terminus.
11 out of 11 lines of specbond.dat converted successfully
Special Atom Distance matrix:
