[gmx-users] Regarding Glycine structure

[Dilip H N]

Thanks Justin,

But my doubts are..
1] after energy minimization of both glycine non zwitterionic form and
zwitterionic form with water, if i visualize it in vmd, the bond between
some of the water molecules are broken.. why is this so..??
2] and ran nvt,npt,md simulations respectively...and during analysis part i
am getting only similar two types of RDF graphs...why is this happening...i
have made all the indexing, etc., proper...

Is there any tutorials for these as an example..?? solving this would help
me a lot....
