[gmx-users] ignoring -h atoms

[Erik Marklund]

Dear Maria,

I’m not saying that it never makes a difference for the topology generation, but it depends on the quality of your input structure. Justin and I both gave examples of why you might want to use it. When you do, -ignh ignores the hydrogens in the input pdb and uses the rtp to model new ones. I don’t understand why you say that the “ff its ignore it”.

As for what is most reliable, that again depends on the quality of the input structure. Pdb2gmx -ignh normally does a good job.

Kind regards,
Erik
