[gmx-users] Simulation of wild and mutant types of HSA protein

[Negar Parvizi]

Dear Francesco,

Thank you so much for your help.
Could you please explain me more about this software and what you are doing for modeling mutants from wt pdb?
In my job we want to check RMSD, solvent accessible surface area and gyration radius. Would you please say what properties you check when you are dealing with single point mutations?

Regards,
N.P

hi Negar,
I'm doing a similar work, but with another protein and what I did was to mutate the wild-type using mutmodel (Martin et al., 2002).
In my case I had more than 200 mutants and only the wt pdb was available.

cheers,

Fra
