The list does not accept attachments.  If you want to share a file or image, 
post it to a file-sharing service and provide the URL in your email.

These commands are just copied and pasted directly from my tutorial; these are 
not what you should be using for any arbitrary system.  The logic is the same, 
but the actual commands must be tailored to your system.

Old versions of InflateGRO, IIRC, deleted ligands, so you had to place the 
protein-ligand complex in the proper box (to get the correct translated 
coordinates), remove the ligand, build, and paste the ligand back in.  Perhaps 
that is not the case any more and you can keep the entire protein-ligand complex 
intact throughout the whole process.
