[gmx-users] protein-ligand complex

[Mahboobeh Eslami]

dear justin 
thanks a lot
if i use flexible receptor in docking process, must i  change  the coordinates of the protein as initial configuration  in the MD simulation?
Sincerely

Possibly, but the original point stands - if the initial pose is very poor or 
the topology incorrect, more running time usually just means more wasted time. 
You need to establish whether or not your starting conditions are reasonable.
